+### Stop after too many failures
+
+By default the runner stops after 100 failures to keep result artifacts small. Use `-M` to
+override the limit or set it to `0` for unlimited:
+
+```bash
+# Stop after 50 failures (stricter than default)
+./build/bin/rpc_int -c -f -M 50
+
+# Run all tests regardless of failure count
+./build/bin/rpc_int -c -f -M 0
+```
+
+When the limit is reached the runner prints:
+```
+ABORTED: too many failures (100), test sequence stopped early
+```
+
