1. A method for operating a magnetic resonance device, the magnetic resonance device comprising at least one component that has an operating limit in relation to a state parameter, the at least one component being for recording magnetic resonance data using a protocol that comprises at least one magnetic resonance sequence, wherein the protocol is described by protocol parameters, and a protocol parameter set that, in relation to a protocol section, allows the protocol section to be repeated as often as desired without exceeding the operating limit is provided or determined, the method comprising:
receiving a single boost parameter from a user interface, the single boost parameter being selectable by a user and describing an increased utilization of a power output of the magnetic resonance device while limiting a repeatability of the protocol section, the single boost parameter defining how often the protocol section is measurable before the operating limit is reached, the operating limit being related to a temperature of a component of the at least one component of the magnetic resonance device;
determining, by a processor and at least for the protocol section, adaptation parameters in a manner that is at least partially automatic based on the single boost parameter, such that a desired number of repetitions described by the single boost parameter is established while complying with the operating limit, the desired number of repetitions being at least two, the adaptation parameters comprising at least some of the protocol parameters; and
recording, by a controller, magnetic resonance data with the protocol, using the determined adaptation parameters,
wherein the received single boost parameter directly defines the desired number.
