Question about Max samples function in Iray

So, I know using Iray to render you can essentially "pause" the render by hitting cancel, then restart it. What I wanted to know is if you notice that your render is approaching the maximum samples you placed in (ex. 10000) but the render  is only say 50% done, can you "pause" the render change the maximum samples and just resume the same render with that new maximum or do you have to start it over?

    Yes, you can.  That is one of the couple of options that you can adjust and still be able to resume a render.

    Awesome... ummm the default max seems to be 15,000, if ai go in to the settings and change the maximum, will it actually do the new max I set or is the limit just 15k?

    The new one. 

    Sometimes when you resume, it looks like it starts over, but most of the time it doesn't (there have been some reported cases of it actually starting over), it will quickly jump back to the progress it was at when you paused it.
