Moonshot apologizes for Kimi K3.1 Pro rate limits, resets 25% of every subscriber's monthly quota
Moonshot AI's Kimi apologized on Oct 26 for rate limiting and unnecessary quota use on its K3.1 Pro subscription plan, calling the issues its own. Every active subscriber gets a one-time reset restoring 25% of the monthly quota (about a week of use); usage below 25% resets to zero. Kimi also says it is cutting unnecessary sub-agent calls and output length.
Why it matters
K3.1 Pro launched on Oct 24, and two days later Kimi had to publicly compensate subscribers, a sign of the compute and cost strain of serving a very large model on flat plans; fewer sub-agent calls may change long-task behavior.

@Kimi_MoonshotOfficial · XWe're sorry for the rate limits and unnecessary quota consumption on the K3.1 Pro subscription plan. These were our issues, and we should have fixed them sooner.
Today, every subscriber on every plan gets a one-time usage reset, restoring 25% of their monthly quota (usage below 25% resets to zero), equal to one week of usage. Your usage bar will reflect this adjustment by end of day PST.
We've also adjusted the plan's parameters and are reducing unnecessary subagent calls and output length, so your quota goes further.
Thank you for your patience while we put this right.View original · ITHomeMediaKimi 就会员使用 K3.1 Pro 出现限流等问题致歉，为所有订阅会员进行重置Original Chinese title · View original ·
