OpenStudio Increasing Load Convergence

Having troubles with my model and believe the run time is being increased by the errors that are being written. Is there any way in OpenStudio to increase the "Load Convergence Tolerance Value"? It seems that when I increase it the value didn't actually increase.

* Warning * ControlCompOutput: Maximum iterations exceeded for ZoneHVAC:Baseboard:RadiantConvective:Water = CEILING 5NW * ~~~ * ... Load met = 3002.90162 W. * ~~~ * ... Load requested = 3007.63750 W. * ~~~ * ... Error = 0.15746170 %. * ~~~ * ... Tolerance = 0.10000000 %. * ~~~ * ... Error = (Load met - Load requested) / MAXIMUM(Load requested, 100) * ~~~ * ... Actuated Node Mass Flow Rate =4.441897944E-002 kg/s * ~~~ * Environment=RUN PERIOD 1, at Simulation time=01/01 00:00 - 00:15

I would expect the tolerance value to increase from .1% because I have changed the "Load Convergence Tolerance Value" in simulation settings multiple times with no change. Any pointers towards what I can do to slightly increase this value would be awesome.
