Request for API Rate Limit Increase (from 40 RPM to 200 RPM) – Personal Development Use

Dear NVIDIA NIM Team,

Hello!

I am writing to sincerely request a rate limit increase for my personal API key.

My usage situation:

I am using the DeepSeek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Pro model on the NVIDIA NIM platform together with the open-source AI agent framework Hermes Agent for development.

Hermes Agent performs multi-step reasoning, tool calling, and iterative generation. A complete agent task typically generates 20 to 50 consecutive API calls within a short period of time.

Under the default limit of 40 requests per minute (40 RPM), I encounter an HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests) error almost every time I run the agent, which prevents it from completing development and testing properly.

My request:
I hope to raise my rate limit from 40 RPM to 200 RPM. This limit should be sufficient for Hermes Agent to complete a typical task without frequently triggering rate limiting.

Last 4 characters of my API Key: 2wsY

Scope of use declaration: This request is solely for personal local development and testing, and does not involve any production or commercial use.

Thank you very much for your consideration. Please let me know if any further information is needed.
