Request for NVIDIA NIM API Rate Limit Increase (40 → 200 RPM) – Personal AI Assistant Development

Hello NVIDIA Developer Team,

I am developing a personal AI assistant using the OpenClaw framework with NVIDIA NIM as the primary model provider. I’m currently using the Qwen3.5-397B-A17B model via the NVIDIA NIM API catalog.

Use Case:

  • Personal AI assistant for document analysis, PDF recognition, and multi-modal tasks (text + image).
  • Running on a local OpenClaw Gateway with Feishu integration.
  • Primary models in use:
    • nvidia/qwen/qwen3.5-397b-a17b (default)
    • nvidia/deepseek-ai/deepseek-v4-flash
    • nvidia/z-ai/glm-5.1

Current Limitation:
The default 40 RPM limit is insufficient for my workflow, especially when:

  • Handling multiple concurrent requests from agent orchestration.
  • Batch processing documents/PDFs.
  • Managing real-time conversations with fallback chains.

Request:
I would like to request an increase from 40 RPM to 200 RPM for my API key.

Environment:

  • Deployment: Self-hosted OpenClaw Gateway (WSL2 + systemd)
  • Location: Beijing, China
  • Usage: Personal development and testing (non-commercial)
  • Account Email: davidbrn369@gmail.com

API Key Prefix: nvapi-8LhKl3... (Full key available upon request if needed)

Thank you for supporting the developer community with powerful models like Qwen3.5-397B. I look forward to your response.

Best regards,
OpenClaw User
