Problem with the limit of 256 sessions in one consistency group

My customer PSA manages the replications between his DS8886 with CSM.
For production reasons, he defined one and only one a consistency group with a lot of sessions.
In the documents it is mentioned that there is a limit to 256 sessions in one consistency group.
My customer PSA needs more than 256.
It already has 205 sessions today and it is increasing every day.
It will reach 256 before the end of the year, at the start of the 4th quarter.
My client requests that the limit be pushed above 256, with, for example, a limit of 512.
