At the initial stage when there the voltage applied crosses the barrier potential then there is increase in current but will reach to a constant value. After that the increase in current flow will be due to increase in the voltage applied.

It can be explained by forward bias characteristics of diode where current will be constantly increasing after crossing barrier potential with some slope. Hence it is relatively constant.

How? why will it remain constant?
