Phone Verification "This phone number has exceeded limits" on first attempt - +86 China number - Need manual reset/whitelist for NIM API key

Hello NVIDIA Support Team / Moderators,

I am trying to register/verify my account on build.nvidia.com to generate an API key for NVIDIA NIM, but I am stuck at the phone verification step.

Details:

  • This is my very first attempt to create an NVIDIA developer account and verify this phone number. I have never used this number or email for any NVIDIA registration before.
  • Country/Region: China (+86)
  • Phone Number: +8615272369794 (I entered it exactly as +8615272369794 with no spaces or extra characters)
  • Email associated with the account: zhoulibin972@gmail.com
  • Error Message (exact): “This phone number has exceeded limits, please try a different phone number or try again later.”
  • Description: As soon as I select China and input the number, the error appears immediately. I have not received any SMS/OTP code at all, and I have only tried once (or very few times, no spam attempts). I have cleared browser cache, tried different browsers/networks (Wi-Fi and mobile data), waited 24+ hours, but the issue persists.

This seems to be a common false positive or system bug for many +86 China numbers recently (I saw similar threads in the forum like “/t/this-phone-number-has-exceeded-limits-in-china-and-use-86/363110” and others).

Could you please help me by:

  • Manually resetting the verification limit for this phone number, or
  • Whitelisting my number (+8615272369794) so I can complete the SMS verification and generate the API key?

I would greatly appreciate any assistance, as I need access for my AI/development projects.

Thank you in advance!
Best regards,
