Kimi apologizes for K3.1 Pro plan rate limits and wasted quota, gives every subscriber a one-time 25% monthly quota reset and trims subagent calls and output length

At 20:14 UTC on 2026-10-25, Moonshot AI's official account @Kimi_Moonshot (post) acknowledged rate limits and unnecessary quota consumption on the K3.1 Pro subscription plan, saying "these were our issues, and we should have fixed them sooner." Every subscriber on every plan gets a one-time usage reset that restores 25% of their monthly quota (usage below 25% resets to zero), equal to about one week of usage; usage bars update by end of day PST. Kimi also adjusted the plan's parameters and is cutting unnecessary subagent calls and output length so quota lasts longer.

Key Takeaways

  • Compensation: a one-time 25% monthly quota restore, about 1 week of usage (official post)
  • Users below 25% usage are reset to zero; applies to every subscription plan
  • Timing: usage bars update by end of day PST on Oct 25 (about 15:00 SGT on Oct 26)
  • Fix direction: fewer unnecessary subagent calls, shorter outputs and adjusted plan parameters
  • Context: K3.1 Pro launched Oct 23 with API pricing of $2/$10 per million tokens (vendor figures)

Devin now works with any personal ChatGPT plan: Go, Plus or Pro subscriptions cover GPT model usage instead of Devin quota

On Oct 9 Cognition said Devin can now link any personal ChatGPT plan (Go, Plus or Pro). The GPT share of each session is billed to the ChatGPT subscription instead of Devin quota or on-demand credits, across Devin Cloud, Desktop and CLI. It requires a self-serve Devin Pro, Max or Teams plan (not Free or Enterprise), and falls back to Devin quota when the ChatGPT allowance runs out.

Devin now works with any personal ChatGPT plan: Go, Plus or Pro subscriptions cover GPT model usage instead of Devin quota

Key Takeaways

  • Eligible ChatGPT plans widened from Plus/Pro at the Sep 29 launch to Go, Plus and Pro; free ChatGPT accounts can't share usage
  • Only self-serve Devin Pro ($20/mo), Max ($200/mo) and Teams ($80/mo minimum); not Free or Enterprise
  • GPT usage bills only to ChatGPT, never double-counted against Devin quota; fast/priority variants excluded
  • Vendor-cited Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index v1.5: Fusion (GPT-6 Astra + SWE-2) scores 58.9 at $4.54/task vs Codex Astra (max) 61.6 at $7.47, 39% cheaper
