Phone Verification "Exceeded Limits" Error on First Attempt - India (+91)

Hello NVIDIA Support Team,

I am trying to generate an API key on NVIDIA NIM (build.nvidia.com) to access the DeepSeek-V3.1 model, but I am stuck at the phone number verification step.

Each time I try to verify my phone number, I immediately receive the error: “This phone number has exceeded limits, please try a different phone number or try again later.”

This is happening on my very first attempt to use NVIDIA NIM. I have tried two different Indian phone numbers and both give the same error on the very first attempt — no OTP SMS was ever sent to either number.

My account details:

  • Registered Email: sanjey8105@gmail.com
  • Phone Numbers Tried: +91 9632809689 and +91 9600659356
  • Region: India (+91)

I believe this is a system-level false positive for Indian (+91) numbers, similar to issues reported by other users with +86 numbers.

Could you please manually verify my account or whitelist my phone number so I can generate an API key? I would greatly appreciate your assistance.

Thank you.
