Kimi CLI stuck in 'engine overloaded' loop for 48h

Hey,

Hoping someone here has run into this or knows a fix. My Kimi Claw locally has been down for about two days now and I’m not sure what else to try.

Every time I send a message, I just get this loop:

The engine is currently overloaded, please try again later
The engine is currently overloaded, please try again later

It’s not intermittent — it’s every single interaction. I’ve tried:

  • Waiting hours between messages
  • Restarting the CLI
  • Different prompts (even just “hello” or “good morning”)

Same result every time. It feels like my session or account is stuck in a bad state rather than actual server overload.

Has anyone else seen this?

Thanks

Is kimi claw working for anyone else?

Hi there!

Sorry to hear you’re dealing with this. A constant overload loop on every single interaction sounds like an account state issue or a configuration snag, rather than a genuine server load problem.

Since you are running a custom local configuration, could you share a bit more info about your setup so I can look into it for you?

Please send me a direct message with the following details:

  • Your registration email
  • The endpoint you are using
  • The model ID
