Kimi's plans quietly went from 15×/30× to 5×/10× — the price fell, the allowance fell harder

Moonshot's checkout page now reads '5x agent credits' on Allegro and '10x agent credits' on Vivace. Independent pricing trackers and cached listings from earlier this month describe those same two tiers at 15× and 30× Kimi Code usage. Annual pricing also moved down: Allegro shows $79/mo billed for 12 months against a struck-through $99, Vivace $159 against $199.

So the sticker price fell about 20% and the headline multiplier fell about 67%. If both readings describe the same quantity, that is a substantial real-terms increase disguised as a discount.
