How to increase Box.com API request limit

As written here http://blog.programmableweb.com/2013/01/11/opening-up-the-box-api/ box.com limits the number of requests for its API for each developer (or client from the point of view of OAuth RFC) the foundation. "The current bid limit is 50,000 requests per developer in a 24-hour window." Can someone help me if there is a way to improve this limitation? I can not find anything about this on the site.

The speed limit is actually much more granular (different calls are limited in different ways) and quite a bit higher than what you quote for many types of API calls. The block uses a leaking implementation to protect the servers, but it is quite difficult for each user to resist the API for short bursts. If you are a payment customer, Box will tell you what your bid limit is, but we will not publish the numbers.

If you want to receive a temporarily higher speed limit, you can send a request for support.
