Verification notes

• New Kimi membership plans are available with pricing unchanged. For new members the weekly quota is removed and only the rolling 5-hour rate window and the monthly total quota remain; the Go tier has no coding quota and Plus and above can use Kimi Code. Existing subscribers on the legacy Andante, Moderato, Allegretto and Allegro plans keep their tier name, quota rules and auto-renewal.
• The Kimi Code overview no longer publishes the earlier approximately 300–1,200 requests per rolling 5-hour window range. No request count for the 5-hour window is currently published.
• Membership credits are shared across Kimi features and refresh each monthly billing cycle; the exact shared monthly credit total is shown in the member account rather than published as a stable public number.
• The official pricing page displays the ¥ symbol; TraceCheck labels these prices as CNY to prevent confusion with JPY. No currency conversion is applied.
• Official error-reference documents distinct 403 families for the 5-hour window, weekly 7-day quota, and monthly shared membership pool. Concurrent 403 is risk-control, not quota. HTTP 429 is overload or rate-limit, not a subscription clock.
