Moonshot apologises for Kimi K3.1 Pro throttling and grants every paid tier a 25% quota reset
Moonshot AI
Two days after K3.1 Pro went live on October 24, Moonshot issued an October 26 notice apologising for rate limiting and what it called unnecessary quota consumption, and reset allowances so that every active paid subscriber receives 25% of their monthly quota back. The company said it changed system configuration to cut unnecessary sub-agent calls and excessive output length, acknowledging the issue should have been fixed earlier; the 3-trillion-parameter, 1M-context model's full weights remain promised by November 4.
