I bought a yearly subscription to kimi when it was the hype and never use it. The 5h limit makes it completely unusable. You barely start doing anything and you hit the limit immediately. I advise everyone against using kimi.

I had the lowest plan ($20/month I think) and it literally gave me fifteen, maybe twenty minutes tops, using the cheaper K3-256K variant. Basically enough to fill the context about 1.2x and that was it.

It's a really smart model but way too expensive. The same $20 goes 100x further with Claude. I used it for the initial task planning while the plan didn't expire, then handed off to DeepSeek or Minimax.

		Same plan, just asked it to review a repo that Fable has been helping out with (max plan, haven't run out of the hourly or weekly limit once yet, and I use the same sub on multiple projects at once). Kimi didn't even finish the scan, ran out of the 5hr budget in less than 10 minutes. Unusable, unfortunately.

I’m not saying you’re wrong (I have no experience), but wouldn’t it be useful to test this model out for yourself before passing judgment on it?

Since you've volunteered as tribute, give it a shot and let us know if the quota has improved.
