Hi @Lien To conduct performance/stress testing with a higher data ingest limit, you need to obtain a valid commercial license from Splunk or connect with your Splunk sales representative to request an extended or evaluation license specifically for testing purposes. The trial license is intended for evaluation only, and methods to circumvent the limit is not supported or permitted, but as mentioned you should be able to get a higher ingest license from Sales to perform a proof of concept or longer evaluation. There are others license types available, however these do have varying terms restricting their use for certain purposes. As mentioned by @kiran_panchavat - there are Dev/Test licenses (which require an existing commercial agreement to be in place) and App Developer Licenses (for app developers under the Splunk Developer Agreement) however "Splunk developer licenses are for development and testing of content for use with Splunk and cannot be used for production use cases". Testing in this scenario is testing of apps developed for Splunk rather than evaluation of Splunk itself. The best options here to request an extended trial / pre-sale / Proof Of Concept license from Sales as this will be a fully featured license which would match the type of license you would have for a production environment.
