How to increase rate limit for creating merchant center subaccounts?

[chris....@saatchiart.com]

I have a multi-client account with Google Merchant Center because saatchiart.com is a marketplace (for fine art) in the same way that etsy.com is a marketplace.

We are looking to create a separate subaccount for each artist on our platform with eligible items for the Google Merchant Center.

We have everything built on our side to generate the accounts and create the feeds for them via your API.

However, we are receiving an error response now after having created 50 subaccounts that the maximum number of subaccounts has been reached:

{
  "error" : {
    "errors" : [ {
      "domain" : "content.ContentErrorDomain",
      "reason" : "quota/too_many_subaccounts",
      "message" : "Maximum number of subaccounts reached"
    } ],
    "code" : 403,
    "message" : "Maximum number of subaccounts reached"
  }
}

I have spoken with Google AdWords support on the phone and requested a limit increase from them; they were able to grant an increase to 100 (with future increases to 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, etc permitted) but we are only able to add new accounts via the GUI; the API still has the limit set to 50.

Would it be possible to remove the restriction on account creation via the API and have the limit only defined by what the AdWords Support team can specify?

Thank you.

Our Merchant Center ID is: 107428147
