Agent credits & billing

Agent mode uses Kimi's credit system. All membership benefits include two credit pools: Kimi Code uses a separate credit pool; other membership features (Agent, Deep Research, Slides, Docs, Sheets, Kimi Claw, etc.) share a single credit pool, with credits deducted based on actual token consumption.

Billing model

Two credit pools: All membership benefits include two credit pools. Kimi Code uses a separate credit pool; other membership features share one credit pool — allocate usage however you like
Pay-per-use: credit consumption depends on task complexity and duration (i.e., token usage) — simple tasks cost less, complex tasks cost more
Monthly refresh: Credits reset monthly, aligned with your subscription cycle
Usage priority: Bonus credits (e.g., trial credits, promotional rewards) is consumed first, followed by plan credits

Example: With a Moderato plan, generating a simple PPT might consume about 1–2% of credits, while a single Deep Research session might use about 5–10%.

What happens when credits run out?

When your credits are exhausted:

Any task currently in progress will complete normally
New tasks will show an "insufficient credits" notice
Your options:
- Wait for your monthly credits to auto-refresh
- Upgrade to a higher-tier membership for more credits

How to check credit usage?

Web: Profile → Settings → Subscription
App: Profile → Membership Plan → Subscription What you can view:

current credits balance (as a percentage)
Next refresh date
Last 10 usage records (timestamp, feature used, consumption percentage)

Usage records may have a brief delay. Refer to the actual credit display for the most current information.

Does a failed task still consume credits?

Credits are deducted after a task executes successfully, based on actual consumption
If a task fails due to a system error (no valid result returned), click the 👎 button to report it. After verification, the corresponding credits will be refunded
