Hello DLI Team!

I have been very excited to progress towards the certification of this NVIDIA certification course through your DLI platform or more specifically “Introduction to Transformer-Based Natural Language Processing”, However on restarting the program I encountered this message:

**Usage Limit**

_You have exhausted the lab time provided with your course enrollment._

I was under the impression that the limits are imposed on hourly basis and a lot of times I had just left the lab idle on a tab. I have been enjoying this course thoroughly and would really love if you could provide me with some assistance in order to continue the course which I will do my best to complete within the stipulated time frame.

ve been thoroughly enjoying the “Introduction to Transformer-Based Natural Language Processing” course on the DLI platform. However, upon restarting the program, I encountered a message indicating that I’ve exhausted the lab time provided with my course enrollment:

**Usage Limit: You have exhausted the lab time provided with your course enrollment.**

I was under the impression that the usage limits were set on an hourly basis. I often left the lab idle on a tab while working through the course material. I would greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide to help me continue with the course, as I am eager to complete it within the allotted time frame.

Thank you in advance for your support!

Hi @asiffarhankhan,

I was able to provide 6 more hours.

Let me know if you have any issues accessing the lab.

Best,  
Tom

Hi @waqas.khan667898,

Unfortunately, I cannot find you in the system. Is it possible you used a different email than the one you have for the forums?
