I can modify the console buffer height use the below code when I debugging the console exe with VC & cmd, but it doesn't work in WindowsTerminal, the buffer height seems always is 9030, how to modify it ?

system("mode con:cols=120 lines=20000");

or

SetConsoleScreenBufferSize(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), { 120,20000 });
