## POST /api/v2/vps/payg/limits/requests

**Request higher Cloud VPS PAYG limits**

Submit a pay-as-you-go Cloud VPS limit-increase request. `limitType` must be one of the documented resource keys, and `reason` must be at least 10 characters so support can review the request without extra back-and-forth. Do not use this for regular fixed-cycle VPS plan upgrades; use `GET /api/v2/vps/{id}/actions/upgrade` for those.
