Request for NVIDIA NIM API Rate Limit Increase (40 → 200 RPM)

Hello NVIDIA Support Team,

I am writing to request a rate limit increase for my NVIDIA NIM API account.

Account Details:

  • NVIDIA Account Email: kug6868@gmail.com
  • Current Limit: 40 RPM
  • Requested Limit: 200 RPM, or the next available higher tier for individual developer use

Project / Workflow:
I am using NVIDIA NIM API for personal development and non-production testing of agentic coding workflows. My main use case is integrating LLM APIs with local developer tools such as Hermes, coding agents, and repository-level assistants for a medical education / quiz system project.

The workflow involves:

  • Repository navigation and code understanding
  • Multi-file editing and refactoring
  • Test generation and debugging
  • Tool-calling / agent loop experiments
  • Comparing different NIM-hosted models for coding and reasoning tasks

Why 40 RPM Is Not Enough:
The default 40 RPM limit often triggers 429 Too Many Requests errors during normal agentic workflows, even when I apply request throttling, retries, and exponential backoff. These tools naturally make multiple small sequential requests during planning, editing, validation, and summarization.

A 200 RPM limit would make development and testing much smoother without using the service for production traffic.

Usage Scope:

  • Personal development only
  • Non-production use
  • No public-facing commercial service
  • I can keep concurrency controlled and continue using backoff/retry logic

Thank you for reviewing my request.

Best regards,
PO-YUAN,CHENG
