Kimi Offers Subscribers a One-Time Quota Reset

How to use these two pages

Give learners the student worksheet. It contains the story and questions, without the answers. Keep this guide for yourself. Use it to lead the activity and explain the answers afterwards.

Student worksheet

A simple 15–20-minute lesson

  1. Before reading · 2 minutes

    Show the title. Ask: “What do you think this story is about?”

  2. Read and answer · 8–10 minutes

    Give out the student worksheet. Learners read for the main idea, then reread to answer the 2 questions. They can compare answers with a partner.

  3. Discuss and write · 5–8 minutes

    Check the answers below together. Ask learners to point to the clue in the story, then finish with the open question.

Adjust the support: Let learners use word help or Level 1 if needed. For a challenge, compare the wording in another level. This activity is not a proficiency test.

Answers to the 2 questions

The question numbers match the student worksheet. Each answer includes a reason and the clue learners can find in the story.

  1. Who accepted responsibility?

    Correct answer: C — Moonshot/Kimi

    Why: The company did.

    Clue in the story: Moonshot AI acknowledged rate limits and unnecessary quota consumption on Kimi K 3.1 Pro. Its official account apologised and announced a one-time restoration of 25% of subscribers’ monthly allowance.

  2. What remains unverified?

    Correct answer: A — Every account is fixed

    Why: An announcement is not verification.

    Clue in the story: The company also said it was cutting unnecessary subagent calls and output length. Those changes aim to reduce wasted usage. The statement announces a remedy; it does not independently establish that all subscribers have received it.

The open question: accept different answers

Ask learners: Explain the finding and its limit.

One possible answer: Relief was promised, not verified for every account.

This is an example, not the only correct answer. Look for a relevant idea, a reason and the learner’s own words. Learners can answer aloud or write one or two sentences.
