Ollama puts Kimi-K3 cloud behind extra usage pay-per-token billing
Porespellar · reddit · 2026-07-28
Ollama users report that Kimi-K3 cloud is now billed as extra usage rather than being included in the regular plan.
- A user on the $20/month plan says the model appears on the catalog, but a CLI attempt returns 402 Payment Required.
- The error message says the model is available only via pay-per-token extra usage, with no included plan quota.
- The poster says this change is enough to cancel their subscription, since the service no longer feels like an all-you-can-eat way to try new open models.
