How i can set how many posts per page are displayed in the archive section

Hello, i want to change the quantity of posts displayed in the archive section, but i dont know how.
If i use this snippet in the end of the archive.php file i get the correct number of posts in pagination but the posts are the same no matter the category i selected previously.
if (!isset($paged) || !$paged){
$paged = 1;
}
$args = array(
'posts_per_page' => 8,
'paged' => $paged
);
$context['posts'] = new Timber\PostQuery($args);
$context['pagination'] = Timber::get_pagination();
Timber::render( $templates, $context );
if i run Timber\PostQuery() without arguments i get the correct posts of one category or search result, but the quantity in the pagination is not which i need.
$context['posts'] = new Timber\PostQuery();
The easy and safe answer for this one question is that in Settings > Reading, there's an option for number of posts per page, which will affect all queries automatically.
But to solve the general problem of overriding individual aspects of the default query, this is what I've found. I'm not that great with WordPress, so this might be dangerous or bad in some way; I'd love for someone to tell me if so.
$query = $GLOBALS['wp_query']->query_vars;
$query['posts_per_page'] = 8;
$context['posts'] = new Timber\PostQuery($query);
$context['pagination'] = $context['posts']->pagination([
'show_all' => false,
'mid_size' => 3,
'end_size' => 2
]);
