As far as I know, there is no such configuration for maximum number of HARQ retransmissions. The UE will know that it is a retransmission or a new transmission based on NDI which is present in the DCI Format.

However, there is a maximum number of retransmissions at the ARQ level which is configured to the UE. This is applicable to the RLC which is present in the Acknowledged Mode,

maxRetxThreshold ENUMERATED {t1, t2, t3, t4, t6, t8, t16, t32}
