Every time we increase container counts, we have to update parallelism param at every single circleci config files, is there a possibility of automatically maximize parallelism count based on procured container count?

I don’t think there is an automated way to do this. I tried to do a little hack by passing an global ENV\_VAR that represented the parallelism but this caused by builds not to run at all.
