My rc files usually have trial (short) values for *_TIME and a single
iteration. You can force all those in line for a compliant run with the -C
option on the command line. The only time parameter that is not affected by
-C is WARMUP_TIME.

Note that when you do short runs and get bandwidth misreporting, increasing
the run length (like, from two to four or five minutes) will allow you to go
further. Also, I have seen divide-by-zero problems on extremely short runs.
