Enforcing values in ODE solver

I am trying to solve a stiff ode with ode15s. There is a variable for which there exists a physical constraint due to which it cannot exceed a certain maximum (the allowed maximum also changes with other variables).
I could use events to stop the ode integration and reset the variable but there is a regime where the event persists for some time so, I don't know if exiting the solver each time after just one iteration is efficient.
I also tried using global variables, so that I can always manually control it but then it becomes unphysical when solver rejects a step and goes back.
Is there a way to apply the constraint within the solver? Is there some other solver that could help or would it be better to write one by myself?
Thanks!

This is only possible if you define the event as a discontinuous function, and this is not allowed. An allowed event function has a zero crossing without remaining in the state.

Use events, and remember that events are only detected when a value crosses the trigger, and are not detected when the system starts in that state.

Oh in that case, I don't think i can make use of built in solvers. The variable reaching a maximum is not a one-time event but a whole regime that would persist for some time. Thanks for the reply.
