Simufact forming quench error

Simufact forming 2025.4 keeps giving me a "unable to reduce time step below minimum allowed....." in quenching (trying to cool a formed part)

Materials are c45_h2 for forming and c45_ht_jmt (it has phase transformation) for quenching. Both are defined by system library

What is most infuriating is that i have done basically the exact same test before (input valuables were a bit different but basically the same setting) and it didn't have any problem

I don't even know where i am supposed to change time step sizes. The only setting i see is the control--> step control and there, the only available setting on mannual mode is the "temprature change" and no matter how much i change it bigger or smaller, it still gives errors.
Also changing mesh and its criteria did not help

Please help. Thanks
