alt Hacker NewsPersonal anecdote: I exhausted my Claude usage yesterday so I decided to spend 20$ to try Kimi while I was at it. Logged in, paid, downloaded Kimi Code, set it to use K3 and prompted something along the lines of: "Check this repository and find all the settings that can be passed as input related to hardware, I/O, thread control or networking. Produce a report".
It thought for about 12 minutes and then told me I had exhausted my daily quota. (The next day Fable did the same task in 3m)
If you want to buy a plan for K3 do NOT buy the 20$ one.

I had the _exact_ same problem. Got the 20 USD/month subscription from Kimi.com (paid annually), exhausted my 5-hour quota with a simple prompt on OpenCode + Kimi K2.7 through their API. Cursor got the same prompt done in minutes.
According to their web interface, I'm also on 23% of my weekly usage. That feels crazy, as I do a lot more than that on the 20 USD Cursor plan, and never got even a warning.
I thought OpenCode was doing something wrong, but you had the same issue with Kimi Code.
So I am likely coming from a completely different world because I use entirely self hosted models - but is it really common in your workflows to just wait for 12 minutes without any feedback? I am constantly watching my model and following the path it’s taking and cutting it off or steering it if it’s headed down a dead path. I was just curious if this is really common to just have no feedback for 12 minutes?
I had the same experience with Claude the other day. I asked it for something fairly simple and it used up my whole 5 hour quota without producing the answer. Felt like a total waste of time.
What's the app? nodejs todo app with a "database back end" in a text file, or a 1m line spaghetti code COBOL app from 1971?
kinda surprising to me after the macos web demo was apparently done on the $40 monthly coding plan which was like a 6 hour task
Codex works for this, it'll continue thinking and will answer the prompt even if your limit is reached.
