Hello Open Platform team,

I'm a PhD student running a non-commercial analysis of how the Guardian's vocabulary around prejudice, social justice and climate has changed over time. I'm not retrieving article text, only monthly result counts from the /search endpoint for about a dozen query terms across 1999–2026, so the volume is metadata-light.

That comes to roughly 4,700 calls, which is well over the 500/day developer limit. Would you be able to raise my daily limit to 5,000 for a week or two? I'm happy for it to revert afterwards :)

Key: c8d8a7e2-06cc-4d1f-8e82-5d457cf37abc

Thanks very much, both for your help and for maintaining this incredibly useful service in general,

Konstantin
