I'm new to context and I don't know how to configure this file. Running --usage reveals in the log that the category "token" is exceeded. I tried the aforementioned editing of the conf file, but the log stays the same.

For the benefit of others, the error is:

tex memory      > bumping category 'token' failed, details: all=80000000 | ini=495183 | max=10000000 | mem=10000000 | min=1000000 | ptr=10002079 | set=10000000 | stp=250000 | top=10000000

I can't see where max token memory is defined to try and increase it. The only reference seems to be in ~/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/luat-cod.lmt but uncommenting and increasing had no obvious effect.
