You need better Error handling. How is a user supposed to know how to resolve?
I understand this is due to insufficient tokens. I have checked my dashboard, and it says I have enough.
You need independent testers to QA all features and enhancements prior to a production deployment.

Hey dev

The kimi-code/kimi-for-coding model may be causing issues. Switch to the default model.

Edit ~/.kimi/config.json:

{
"model": "kimi-k2-5",
"thinking": true,
"mcpServers": {}
}

Or remove the "model" line entirely to use the default configuration.

I was able to resolve it this way.

This issue is with the kimi-code.json file it got extra closing curly bracket at the end of json which is invalid you can remove that extra curly bracked and save it and then try again. File is under this path.
