Increase rate limit on Create Share link endpoint in OneDrive API

We ran into the same issues here described here . https://github.com/OneDrive/onedrive-api-docs/issues/1436

Here is our scenario:

Use Case
We are building an edtech tool for teachers to assign their assignments from OneDrive to students. Each student will get their own copies so that they can do the assignments individually. The copies will be created in teacher's OneDrive so we use create link to give students permission to edit their own copies.

Given the number of students and the number of assignments that a teacher might have to share, 50 calls/ hour is not possible for the workflow.

Questions
Is it possible to raise the limit given API key? What would be the process here?
Is it possible that we create the copies that can be shared by default so that we don't need to call create share link? I didn't see this option in the documentation though.
@gcarden It would be great that you can provide some help here. Thanks

    As far as I know, the throttling limits can not be changed as of now. You can find the proper explanations on this thread and this one.
    I suggest you read through SharePoint Throttling Guide and MS Graph throttling Guide to find how you can avoid and deal with throttling in your scenario.
