Kimi API rate limits and when they reset
Kimi API limits work on concurrency, RPM, TPM and TPD. Tokens Per Day resets daily — here's how the tiers work and what to do when you hit a 429.
This is an unofficial tracker. It is not affiliated with OpenAI. Codex is a product/trademark of OpenAI. Probability scores are public-signal heuristics, not authoritative announcements or certainty.
Four dimensions, first hit wins
Kimi (Moonshot) applies concurrency, requests-per-minute, tokens-per-minute, and tokens-per-day limits simultaneously. Your limit tier is tied to cumulative top-up on the platform; exact numbers live in your console and the official pricing & limits doc.
TPD resets daily; per-minute limits roll
RPM/TPM roll continuously like most APIs. TPD is the daily bucket and resets on a daily cycle — see the official rate limit help page. When you hit a 429, the error tells you which dimension blocked you, so read it before assuming you must wait a full day.
Your 429 headers are yours alone
Kimi documents X-RateLimit-Limit / Remaining / Reset response headers, but they only appear in responses to requests signed with your own API key. That is why no public website — including this one — can show your reset countdown. We document the mechanism; we do not probe accounts.

When does my Kimi daily limit reset?
TPD resets on a daily cycle; the exact boundary is shown through your own account and API responses. Per-minute limits roll continuously and recover within about a minute.
What does a Kimi 429 tell me?
Which dimension you hit (concurrency, RPM, TPM, or TPD) — plus X-RateLimit-* headers with limit/remaining/reset values for your key. Fix the tightest dimension first.
How do I raise my Kimi limits?
Tiers are tied to cumulative top-up on the platform. The public docs do not list the full tier ladder, so treat your console as the source of truth.
Can this site see my Kimi quota?
No. Reading the X-RateLimit-Reset header requires your API key, and we will never ask for it.
