Same experience. I had the $19 monthly plan for experimenting and running benchmarks, but it was a uselessly small amount of usage, a single task would blast through the whole five hour limit and a big chunk of the weekly limit. All of the US provider plans are remarkably more generous (though OpenAI plans have gotten a lot stingier lately, where they used to be the most generous).

Welp, that ruins this news for me. I'm glad open models are catching up but if I can't practically run them locally _or_ through a flat fee then it doesn't really help me. I fear API pricing.

Had a similar experience here. Their limits are very, very low, and ultimately make it not worth subscribing. Can't leverage a good modal if it exhausts its 5-hour budget in 30 minutes.

Paying API prices for Deepseek 4.1 Flash feels like a much better deal at the moment.

How? I've been running k3.1 Pro with K2.8 preview for codegen (subagents) and I've only used 22% of my weekly and it's been running for 8 hours on a RE project.

Are you using k3 with thinking set to the absolute highest and only using k3 for everything?

We really need consumer hardware to catch up so we can run these models locally...

I have the same plan and have never experienced that with K3. I have hit the limit within a 5 hour quota using Swarm, however.

Yeah, the plan is far too expensive for what it provides. I wonder if the quota with these new models will be better, but I'll wait for others to try this out before wasting another hundred bucks.

It also has the lowest quota of any model on https://opencode.ai/go

I think Kimi just doesn't have the means to subsidize plans.

Ya it's not very usable compared to Claude / codex

Yup, insanely low 5-hour limits.

Honestly, use Pi, start the session with K3, design it, store the design + chat history + todo with phases + why + readme then when you are at the time to build do `/model` select deepseek and let it rip!!

What about via US hosted data center resellers like Fireworks?
