What Moonshot's status page says
Moonshot's own status page, read at most once a minute. It reports incidents once Moonshot's team confirms them, so it can lag behind what users and our tests see.

What our test covers, and what it doesn't
Our test calls Moonshot's Kimi model through OpenRouter, as llmwise does, on hosts that don't store or train on prompts. kimi.com and Moonshot's own API are separate, and status.moonshot.cn lists them part by part.
Each test is one message of a few words, with the reply capped at 32 tokens, tried once, with no retry and no switch to another route. A test counts as failed when the model refuses it as busy (a rate limit or "overloaded"), breaks (a server error), drops the connection, or takes more than 30 seconds. A test our own request broke doesn't count against Kimi.
What to do now
Check the two answers above: our test, and status.moonshot.cn.
Retry with a growing wait; turn off search or remove files to see if one part fails.
Try the same model through another host.
Or ask another company's model for now.
Ask another model
llmwise has Claude, GPT, Gemini and more in one chat, so an outage at one company doesn't stop your work. The free trial is 5 messages, with a sign-in link by email and no card.

Questions
Is Kimi down for everyone, or just me?
Compare the two answers above: our own test of the Kimi model, and Moonshot's status page. Moonshot posts some incidents in Chinese; we show their titles as posted.
Why can your test pass while kimi.com is down?
Kimi's model is open-weight, so other companies host it too. Our test goes through OpenRouter, the way llmwise does, on hosts that don't store or train on prompts, so it can pass while Moonshot's own site is busy.
What does engine_overloaded_error mean?
It's Moonshot's API saying it's too busy for the request. Wait and retry; it passes on its own.
What can I use while Kimi is down?
The same Kimi model through llmwise, or another company's model: Claude, GPT, and Gemini are in the same chat, and the free trial is 5 messages with no card.
Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok, Kimi, and GLM, in one chat.
