   It is default for some of the TSTypes (in particular, the better ones). It adapts the timestep to ensure some local error estimate is below a certain tolerance. As Matt notes normally as it tries smaller and smaller time steps the local error estimate would get smaller and smaller; this is not happening here, hence the error.

   Have you tried with the argument -ts_arkimex_fully_implicit ?

   I am not an expert but my guess is something is "odd" about your functions, either the RHSFunction or the Function or both. Do you have a hierarchy of models for your problem? Could you try runs with fewer terms in your functions, that may be producing the difficulties? If you can determine what triggers the problem with the local error estimators, that might help the experts in ODE solution (not me) determine what could be going wrong.
