  Pay-as-you-go plans for Moonshot AI / Kimi platform. Pricing is published per million tokens
  with separate rates for input (cache hit/miss) and output across the Kimi K2.6, K2.5, K2,
  and Moonshot V1 model families. Tier eligibility advances with cumulative account recharge.
notes: >-
  Pricing pages are published in CNY and USD; tiered rate limits gate concurrency, RPM, TPM,
  and TPD by cumulative recharge. Document extraction and file storage are temporarily free
  at the time of reconciliation.
