OpenShift max-pods setting has no effect

Issue

Increased max-pods setting in /etc/origin/node/node-config.yaml but oc describe node still reports lower pod capacity:

# oc describe node node-01.example.com | grep -A3 Capacity
Capacity:
Capacity:
 cpu:           6
 memory:        128Gi
 pods:          60

vs.

# grep -A1 max-pods etc/origin/node/node-config.yaml 
  max-pods:
  - '250'
