I need a solution
We noticed that when following the direction to increase above 50,000 row count, it seems to top out at 100,000 regardless. We followed the directions to export the report to XML, added the <maximumRowCount>100000</maximumRowCount>, tested and it showed 100,000. Then when we changed it to 150000, it remained at 100000.
We really do not want to change the overall default setting as it runs the risk of creating runaway queries when someone does their selects wrong.
