Hello NVIDIA Support Team, I am requesting a rate limit increase for my NVIDIA NIM API account. **Account Details:** - Account Email: [aquibmasud7@gmail.com] - API Key ID (Last 4 chars): [nlLl] - Current Limit: 40 RPM - Requested Limit: 200 RPM **Use Case:** I am using the NIM API for AI-assisted coding workflows with tools like OpenCode. A single coding task triggers multiple sequential API calls — for code generation, context building, validation, and retries. With 40 RPM, I hit 429 errors constantly, even after waiting 9–10 minutes between sessions, which makes the tool effectively unusable. **Why 200 RPM:** This is the minimum threshold needed for a single-user agentic coding workflow to function without interruption. I am not running concurrent users or production traffic — this is purely personal development use. I have tried: - Waiting 10+ minutes between requests - Retrying 8–9 times across sessions - The 429 errors persist regardless I would greatly appreciate an escalation to the team for this increase. Happy to provide any additional verification if needed. Thank you for your time.
