Kimi's $19 coding plan roasted: 5-hour limit hit before a single meaningful line of code

LLMJunky tested Kimi's $19 coding subscription and advises against it: the rate limits are "a complete JOKE" — he hit the 5-hour cap having only scaffolded the project, without one meaningful line of code, barely into the research phase after looking at a single screenshot. For context, Meta's $5 plan built a functional Rocket League before running out. He recommends just using the API.
teortaxesTex quotes and adds: unless Moonshot solves its compute shortage or ships a strong Flash model, the pricing can't hold — the model reportedly costs 30x more to serve than V4.1 Flash, so users will just buy Opus.
