[ARCHIVED] How to auto deduct points just once and not repeatedly

I have an instructor that would like to have Canvas deduct 10 points automatically when an assignment is submitted late. The problem I'm running into is that he would like this to be a one-time deduction, meaning it doesn't matter is the student submits the assignment late by 1 day or 10 days, the most that is deducted is 10 points. 

The automatic deduction tool that Canvas provides is by day/hour and will deduct points/percentage multiple times depending on how many days/hours the assignment is submitted. This isn't what the instructor wants.

Is there a way to have Canvas auto deduct a set number (or percentage) of points just one time for late assignments, regardless how many days/hours late it is?

Many thanks for any suggestions.
