More than 10 Non-linear fails?

Hi,
I'm wondering if it is possible to change the number of non-linear fails in one time-step before the non-linear solver gives up and post the "failed to converge" message? I can't find anything about it, but every time I get the "non-linear solver has failed to converge" the log shows that the last time-step has 10 non-linear fails.

To me, 10 fails in one time-step doesn't necessarily mean that the model should stop trying. I mean that reduces the time-step by 2^10 which is only 1024. For something like a contact problem where the solution is highly non-linear that doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

Any ideas how to change this?
