LM5066I: Fault discharge current too low

Part Number: LM5066I


Is there any way to change the fault discharge current? It looks like it is fixed at 2.5 uA. I have an application where the current limit is programmed to 20 A and the fault timer to 12 ms. The average current is typically around 9 A, but periodically, the peak current will increase to 21 A for around 100 us then go back to 9 A. Sometimes, we will get an overcurrent fault because the timer charge current (75 uA) is so much higher than the discharge current (2.5 uA) and the timer won't reset even though the average current is well below the current limit. If I could increase the fault discharge current sufficiently, then the overcurrent would not trigger in this case.
