Accidental Annual Vivance Subscription - Refund Request from a Student

Hi Kimi team, I’m a student and use Kimi extensively for academic research. I’ve had a very positive experience with Kimi so far, and I’ve always appreciated how responsive and supportive the team is toward researchers and users.

Today I accidentally subscribed to the annual Vivance plan when I intended to purchase the monthly plan. The annual option was selected by default, and I noticed the mistake within just a few minutes. I immediately contacted support and sent my payment receipt, and I have not used the subscription since realizing the mistake.

As a student, the annual charge is unfortunately much more than I can afford, while I’m still very happy to continue as a monthly subscriber.

Given Kimi’s reputation for being supportive and fair to its users, I’m really hoping the team can help me resolve this and escalate the refund request to billing.

I’d sincerely appreciate your help. Thank you.

Dear Kimi Billing Team,

I am writing to urgently request a refund for an accidental annual subscription charge on my account. I am a student and use Kimi heavily for my academic research.

Today, I intended to purchase the Monthly Vivace Plan ($199/month), but the Annual Plan ($1,908/year) was selected by default, and the full annual amount was charged to my card. As a student on a strict budget, I unfortunately cannot afford this lump-sum payment, though I am eager to remain a monthly subscriber.
