وَلَنُذِيقَنَّهُمْ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ الْأَدْنَىٰ دُونَ الْعَذَابِ الْأَكْبَرِ And we will surely let them taste the nearer punishment short of the greater punishment that perhaps they will repent. (Sahih International)

(Sahih International)
Surah At-Tawbah (9:3) Quran.com
This is the end of the list. أَكْبَر was only mentioned 11 times in the Quran. وَأَذَانٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ إِلَى النَّاسِ يَوْمَ الْحَجِّ الْأَكْبَرِ And [it is] an announcement from Allah and His Messenger to the people on the day of the greater pilgrimage that Allah is disassociated from the disbelievers, and [so is] His Messenger. So if you repent, that is best for you; but if you turn away - then know that you will not cause failure to Allah. And give tidings to those who disbelieve of a painful punishment. (Sahih International)
