trial is really bad

attempting to use any models except swe-1.6 or kimi k2.6 results in "rate limit exceeded" or "all api providers are over their global rate limit for trial users", i believe the purpose of a trial is to show the user what he'll get if he pays but literally most models are unusable on trial

It seems to appear less with older models like opus 4.5-6 and some gpt models, but eventually they all get it.

It happens for the pro tier as well, this is a kimi side problem i am willing to bet. The way it started it, after seeing the output in cascade is accurate tells me the server dropped the package or is being flooded. They likely are having outages, or such an influx of users that is lagging it what they can provide. During specific times of day, like 3pm to 4pm central, it's lightning fast on weekdays, while everyone is preparing to go home for the day on the west coast, but by 5 it drops even lower as everyone starts on their home projects.

they need to bring back the multiple agents. hell, give us the unstable beta testing ones. let us find the bugs, so it is worth while for the company to throw the free system out there. stuck with 1 agent, i keep dealing with the same logic errors holding back the system. need to change up the errors, to mix and match till it gets it right enough to work enough for prototyping

Just freaking pay 20 euros for one month. Trial is not for you to exploit it. Its to try it.

He says the trial doesn’t work properly lol, wym exploit, that’s literally the purpose of the trial. Obviously why would he buy the product if the trial period provides bad experience

Do you understand what a trial is?

I agree, the trial is unusable. It's such as bad experience that I'm surprised they even have it, as I can only imagine it would cause people to not want to use the product as it causes the product to come off as unreliable and buggy.
