I print exclusively in ABS and ASA.  Although Ultimakers are among the best of the consumer printers at ABS, it's still a challenge..  here's what I do:

if you have an air handler or something similar, set workspace temp to 50C so the fan wont come on and cover printer with a nice thick blanket.  Doing so I see workspace temps of about 140F..  it helps. I have a couple of small aux heaters that I add to get the temps up in the summer (air conditioned office).  high build space temp will make the biggest difference. (Check the commercial printers, they get so hot they have a locked door while running)
A wide and thick brim can help.  Thick since ABS can even pull a brim up if it's too thin.  I'll sometimes actually design the brim into the model so I can make it thin where it touches the part to make it easier to trim, but the rest is thick.
Lately I've been printing on a plastic-coated surface - no glue or hair spray - that's helped a lot.  I use the WamBam product but there are others.
If you're designing the part, avoid vertical walls meeting in square corners if possible.
 

Nevermind, I was able to pull the filament out by powering down the machine, releasing the tension on the feeder, and just pulling it out.   Brutal but effective 😁

Mari, that worked perfectly.  Thank you.

Nope..  turns out the software specifically excludes generic hips.. don't know why, it's the only material listed in the exclusion list.  It's possible to change it but the next Cura update with put it back..
No biggie,  I just use a manufacturer's HIPS instead.

Well that was a waste of a pretty good explanation... but didn't answer the question..
 
I gather that there's no way for a user to reduce it.
 

fixed.  Deleted cura
used Revo to assure all remnants were gone
used Regclean to assure the registry had no evidence of Cura left.
installed 5.2.2
 
Cura needs a competent programmer to make it appear professional.  Buggy as all heck.
