AI TRENDS | Kimi Restores User Quotas Amid Unexpected Demand Surge

On April 22, Kimi, a platform known for its AI-driven services, addressed recent user experience issues. According to Jin10, the company acknowledged that the launch of its new model, KimiK2.6, led to an unexpected surge in user activity, surpassing their expectations. This sudden increase in traffic resulted in some users experiencing delays and temporary unavailability of services. Additionally, an error in the system's calculation of Agent quotas led to some users having their usage rights incorrectly deducted. To rectify these issues and ensure a seamless user experience, Kimi announced that as of 20:30 on April 22, 2026, all user quotas for the month have been fully restored, and any previously used amounts have been reset to zero.
