Hello NVIDIA Support Team,
I am writing to respectfully request an increase in my NVIDIA NIM API rate limit from 40 RPM to 200 RPM. This is strictly to support my academic learning, self-education, and personal AI agent prototyping.

[Educational Use Case & Project]
As a student studying AI systems and software development, I am working on a hands-on learning project to understand multi-agent orchestration. Specifically, I am configuring ‘Hermes Agent’ to run advanced coding and reasoning tasks using NVIDIA-hosted models, including ‘deepseek-v4-flash’ and ‘nemotron-3-ultra’.
[Why I Need the Increase]
During my interactive learning and debugging sessions, the agentic workflow naturally triggers multiple concurrent and sequential API calls for prompt iteration, parallel code generation, and recursive validation. Because the agent executes these chained tool calls very rapidly, I constantly hit the HTTP 429 “Too Many Requests” error within seconds.
This artificial bottleneck abruptly halts the autonomous agent loops mid-execution, making it incredibly difficult to test the system, analyze error logs, and continue my educational experiments efficiently.
[Usage Commitment]
I want to explicitly clarify that my usage is entirely non-commercial, low in total daily volume, and solely dedicated to student learning and research. I will keep concurrency controlled and continue to use proper exponential backoff logic.
Raising the limit to 200 RPM would tremendously help me explore the full capabilities of your cutting-edge models without hitting constant infrastructure barriers.
Thank you very much for your time, consideration, and for supporting student developers on your platform.
Best regards,
Jicheol Lee
