"Too many atom sorting bins" error for large scale simulation

Dear Lammps Users,

I am simulating a large scale polymer composite which consists about 10 million atoms in the box.
During the minimization, Lammps exits with an error “Too many atom sorting bins (../atom.cpp:1871)”.

The simulation works fine for small box sizes (e.g. 5 million atoms)
Previous mailing treads suggest that this error is due to expanding the box size during the simulation, however my simulation box size is larger to begin with.
Please let me know if there is a fix for this.

FYI I have attached the error file and the lammps log file herewith.
Thank you!

you can increase the size of bins with atom_modify
