**Subject:** Request to Increase NVIDIA NIM API Rate Limit

**Account Details:**

- **Account Email:** [aeythnknox@gmail.com](mailto:aeythnknox@gmail.com)

- **Current Limit:** 40 RPM

- **Requested Limit:** 200 RPM 

**Use Case / Project:** I am building a personal AI assistant and a privacy-focused chat application (Snitrix Chat). My architecture relies on **multi-agent workflows** where a single user prompt triggers several chained and parallel inference calls (Planning → Tool Selection → Execution → Final Response).

**Reason for Increase:** The current 40 RPM limit is a major bottleneck for testing these agentic loops. Even a single complex task often triggers 5+ requests in a few seconds, leading to immediate `429 Too Many Requests` errors and breaking the development flow.

**Usage Type:** \> Non-production / Personal Research & Development.
