Ask atc Over 250kts

Is asking ATC for clearance to go over 250kts at 10.000 just random clearance. Like will I get atc clearance like flights from JFK to Heathrow?

A lot of times I get the clearance, but lately I don't even ask for clearance. I just set auto throttle to 245 (indicated), and climb at a higher Feet
Per Minute.

For example, I use the 737-800 (default) a lot, so I set auto throttle to 245, taxi, take-off, then shortly after takeoff I turn on speed hold,
altitude hold, VOR lock (GPS), then climb at 3000 Feet Per Minute. You'll still be using a lot of engine power, and with a 3000 FMP climb, you'll be
at 10000 no problem, then you can go at whatever speed pleases your need! :)

Above 10,000ft you can go as fast as you want.

I thought you need to ask ATC for clearance to go over 250kts at 10.000 just random clearance. Like will I get atc clearance first.

Below 10K feet, to go over 250 KIAS you need to ask for ATC's permission; this is different to ATC route clearance. The rule is there mostly for
heavy jets that have a hard time keeping to 250 KIAS.
