Don't think this is how this will play out. He is claiming that the government breached their end of the plea bargain. Which I assume means they agreed to recommend as light a sentence as possible in exchange for his guilty plea. Well, he gave them the guilty plea and they crawfished on the deal and changed their recommendation from no jail time to 6 months. They acted in bad faith.
Weak basis for withdrawal in federal court, where prosecutors recommendations are non binding on the court.
The government can recommend 0 days or a million years; its entirely up to the judge.
ETA: Haven’t read the motion, but if the government agreed to recommend reductions for acceptance of responsibility or minor role and reneged, that’s different.
