AB  - Hybrid automatic repeat request with Chase combining (HARQ-CC) improves the reliability of slow fluid antenna multiple access (sFAMA), but its transmission limit must be jointly optimized with user concurrency. This paper proposes a quality-of-service (QoS)-aware joint design of concurrency level U and HARQ limit C for downlink HARQ-CC-aided sFAMA. Based on the selected-port signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) distribution, we derive multi-round decoding failure probabilities and develop a two-stage optimization that maximizes feasible concurrency and then selects the minimum C satisfying outage and mean-service constraints. We prove that the first feasible C minimizes service duration for a given U, and that feasible U values form an initial segment, enabling optimal bisection search. Numerical results agree with Monte Carlo simulations under full Jakes spatial covariance. The proposed adaptive FAS design supports six concurrent users, compared with three to five for fixed-HARQ FAS and two for HARQ-adaptive fixed-position-antenna (FPA), demonstrating that joint concurrency and HARQ adaptation expands the QoS-feasible region of FAS.
