There's no way to bypass or modify max_check_attempts on the fly,
whatever you set it to is the requirement. I would approach it by
submitting multiple, sequential passive results sufficient to put it
over max_check_attempts. If you're writing a script to do it, you should
look at the Developer documentation on external commands.
