Kimi Apologizes for K3.1 Pro Rate Limiting and Offers Quota Reset
Kimi apologized for recent rate-limiting and unnecessary quota consumption issues experienced by users of its K3.1 Pro model. The company announced a quota reset and compensation for all subscription members, granting them an extra 25% of their monthly total. This highlights the real-world scaling and capacity challenges AI providers face when rolling out powerful new models to a broad audience. Offering prompt compensation helps maintain user trust during high-demand phases. To mitigate future issues, Kimi adjusted its configurations to reduce unnecessary sub-agent calls and output lengths, helping users complete more tasks with the same quota. All valid subscription members will see their progress bars adjusted by the end of the day.
## BACKGROUND
