How do you adjust the number of polys use for octane lights in c4d? It seems locked to 16 polys

Hi,
I'm not an Octane Cinema 4D user.
However, it is possible to have higher SubDiv by using a disc geometry primitive as a mesh light (and by applying an Octane Light Tag).

It's not locked but there's not anything to pass the subdivision parameter.

I cannot see any division parameter in light interface. We need parameter to read the value. Where's that?
