It is implemented in Octane core (Standalone), and likely not exposed in the 3ds Max plug-in.
2025 beta:

I don't install 2025 integration, it often freezes on 3ds max 2025 with 4090 video card, it would be nice to add this to 2024 octane, since the new octane in integration is poorly usable

Hi Elvissuperstar007,
There are some options that could be added, just like with the other light sources. I’ve sent the report to the developers, but the shadow softening feature already works in version v2024.

Addendum: shown in Octane 2025 Beta but available (and exposed to the user) in Standalone 2024.1.
If unavailable in the plug-in version, it's either not exposed or implemented (exposed to the user) in a more recent version. Beppe confirmed the latter.
