Question about Kimi Code subscription quota scaling between Allegretto (¥199) and Allegro (¥699)

Question about Kimi Code subscription quota scaling between Allegretto (¥199) and Allegro (¥699)

Hello Kimi team,

I have a question about how the Kimi Code quota scaling works between the Allegretto (¥199/month) and Allegro (¥699/month) plans.

According to the subscription page:

  • Allegretto (¥199/month): Kimi Code 20× quota

  • Allegro (¥699/month): Kimi Code 60× quota

So the Allegro plan appears to provide 3× the Kimi Code quota compared with Allegretto.

However, based on actual usage data, I am not seeing a 3× difference in the 5-hour usage window.


Example 1: Allegretto (¥199/month) user Image 2

A user reported that they only consumed about half of one 5-hour window, with the following token usage:

  • Input Tokens: 37.15M

  • Cached Tokens: 36.34M

  • Output Tokens: 63.9K

Using Kimi K3 API pricing as a reference, this is approximately:

~$14.3 worth of API usage

If the user had fully consumed the entire 5-hour window, the estimated usage would be:

~$28–30 API value


Example 2: My Allegro (¥699/month) usage Image 3

My usage after a full 5-hour window (actually slightly exceeded):

  • Input Tokens: 8.40M

  • Cached Tokens: 37.78M

  • Output Tokens: 114K

  • Total Tokens: 46.3M

Estimated API value:

~$38 API usage


Comparison

Plan Estimated full 5-hour window usage
Allegretto ¥199 ~ $28–30
Allegro ¥699 ~ $38(actually slightly exceeded)

My questions:

  1. Does the 20× / 60× Kimi Code quota multiplier refer to:

    • 5-hour window capacity?

    • daily/monthly cumulative quota?

    • number of requests?

    • another internal quota system?

  2. Is the Allegro plan actually expected to allow approximately 3× the usage within the same 5-hour window, or does the 3× multiplier only apply to total accumulated usage over time?

  3. Could there be differences in quota consumption depending on:

    • cache hit rate?

    • model selection (Kimi K3 vs other models)?

    • coding agent behavior?

    • output token generation?

I am trying to understand whether my Allegro plan is working as expected, or if I am misunderstanding how the quota multiplier is calculated.

Thank you!

Update.

I am very sorry to say that I have not received any feedback so far, even though I have sent an email to their official mailbox.

I understand that this community only handles API-related matters, but I have not found any other sizable Kimi community where I can report similar issues.

Moreover, since July 31, 2027, I have noticed that they have removed the multiplier description for Kimi Code, which makes me feel like a fool.

I have submitted a refund request to customer service and hope to get a response.
