Setting the number of containers created per action

I want to limit the maximum number of containers that are created for an action for any number of invocations. I am using the standalone version. Is there a provision to do this?

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. First clarify how the standalone deployment should configure a maximum container count across invocations, then locate the relevant container-management and configuration entry points. Done should be defined as an agreed limit with documented behavior and tests covering the setting.
