Kimi (Moonshot AI) · Rate Limits

Kimi Ai Rate Limits

Rate limits are applied per account by cumulative recharge tier (User Level). Table columns: User Level, Cumulative Recharge Amount, Concurrency, RPM, TPM, TPD, Web Search QPS. Each limit_text is the table cell as published.

Kimi Ai Rate Limits is the rate-limit profile for Kimi (Moonshot AI) on the APIs.io network — every limit transcribed verbatim from the provider’s own documentation on 2026-10-26.

It captures 30 rate-limit definitions, including Tier0 concurrency — 1; Tier0 RPM — 3; Tier0 TPM — 500,000.

Limit state is signalled in the X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, X-RateLimit-Reset, and Retry-After response headers, and an exhausted limit returns HTTP 429.

The profile also includes response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include Artificial Intelligence, LLM, Inference, Long Context, and Kimi.
