IT is controlled by the carrier’s network nodes. It isn’t anything that your phone can do that will control the network. But 23 seconds is not 23 rings. Rings are 5 seconds apart, so 23 seconds is only 5 rings. Most carriers default to 5 or 6 rings, and they won’t go higher than 10 rings because an unanswered call ties up network resources.


If you double-press the side button when the phone rings the call will go to voicemail immediately.
