Developer slams Kimi coding plan: 5-hour quota gone in under 10 minutes
jasonkneen · x · 2026-10-24
Developer Jason Kneen reports a frustrating experience with Moonshot's Kimi coding subscription: he hit the 5-hour usage limit (429 errors) in under 10 minutes without even completing his goal. Screenshots show multiple background agents on the K2.1 Pro Highspeed model failing repeatedly due to quota limits, with prompts to purchase extra usage or upgrade. He calls it "shockingly bad" and says it's time to cancel — a cautionary data point on how fast concurrent agent workloads can burn through Kimi's high-speed tier quota.
