Moonshot AI resets subscriber quotas after Kimi K3.1 Pro launch issues

Chinese AI startup Moonshot AI apologised and reset subscriber quotas by 25 per cent following rate limiting and quota consumption issues after its Kimi K3.1 Pro launch. The Beijing-based company also adjusted parameters to reduce unnecessary subagent calls and output length.

Chinese artificial intelligence startup Moonshot AI apologised on Monday for rate limiting and unnecessary quota consumption after the launch of its Kimi K3.1 Pro model. The Beijing-based company announced on its Kimi X account that it would reset the monthly quota of all subscribers by 25 per cent, which it said equals one week's usage.

Subscribers with usage below 25 per cent had their quotas reset to zero. Moonshot also said it adjusted parameters to reduce unnecessary subagent calls and output length, referring to the delegation of tasks among AI agents and the total number of tokens generated in response to a prompt.

The company had previously experienced issues with computing capacity after the launch of its Kimi K3 model. Chinese AI labs are currently facing computing shortages due to US chip export controls.
