Just tested, that did not go over too well:
[lsfadmin@vmhost6 configdir]$ bhist -l 101 | grep "Running with" | wc -l80
But as soon as I set the max value in the queue, the job went suspended. I would suggest you talk to the LSF admin and suggest they add that setting as it will prevent the requeue loop for other users.

Hi @Larry Adams,
Maybe there is something I do not understand,
according to this link it seems to me one has to be administrator to change the lsb.queues file. Am I wrong?
Sadly I am just a regular user.
Would there be a way to use MAX_JOB_REQUEUE for a regular user?
For instance something like (or similar syntax to retry jobs only twice)
export MAX_JOB_REQUEUE=2
bsub -Q "all ~0" <myjob>
So that the LSF/bsub command takes into account the value MAX_JOB_REQUEUE ?
Thanks in advance,
Best,

Roman,
It's simple to do. Here is a section from the man pages for lsb.queues
MAX_JOB_REQUEUE
Specifies the maximum number of times to requeue a job automati‐
cally.
Syntax
MAX_JOB_REQUEUE=integer
Valid values
0 < MAX_JOB_REQUEUE < INFINIT_INT
INFINIT_INT is defined in lsf.h.
Default
Not defined. The number of requeue times is unlimited

It doesn't seem LSF has job level control on this. You will have to ask your admin to add this for you.

Hi @YI SUN,
Thanks for your reply, I had a look but it seems to me that one has to be administrator to create an application profile [link].
Unfortunately I am just a regular user.
Would there be a solution to create an application profile being a regular user ?
Thanks again,
Best

As the document says, you also can configure MAX_JOB_REQUEUE in lsb.applications for an application profile, e.g.
Begin Application
NAME = myrequeujob
DESCRIPTION = only requeue two times
MAX_JOB_REQUEUE = 2
End Application
Then submit your job like this, bsub -Q "all ~0" -app myrequeuejob <myjob>

Hi all,
I would like to know how to set the maximal number of automatic requeue for a job when using bsub -Q.
I saw here [link] that "Specifying a job-level exit value using bsub -Q overrides all MAX_JOB_REQUEUE settings."
I am using the following command to submit jobs
bsub -Q "all ~0" MyCommand
It there a way to set that MAX_JOB_REQUEUE to 2 for example for a specific job ?
Many thanks in advance for your help!
Best,
