- Existing Kiro users are limited, new users are not currently being welcome
- Could prices have been extracted – could a change already be on the way?
- Users have cited poor performance and a desire for additional models
Only a few days after the launch of its new Kiro AI coding tool, the company has imposed daily use limits and a waiting list for new users due to high demand.
By imposing these temporary measures, AWS hopes to buy time in its teams to evolve the support infrastructure and improve performance, following complaints from the first adopters that performance was already sub-optimal.
Existing users are invited not to install Kiro on several machines, warnings are now triggered once they have read the limits of use temporarily imposed.
AWS Kiro restrictions
Even if Kiro has barely a week and temporary restrictions are even more recent and malicious actors have already been busy preparing a false download site to capitalize on users who are looking for unlimited access. Without going around the limits or buying additional tokens, users are invited to be patient.
Originally offered in free levels, pro and pro +, AWS has deleted pricing details, declaring that “the price details updated for different levels will be shared soon”.
“The way humans and machines coordinate to build software is still disorderly and fragmented, but we are working to change this,” said Nikhil Swaminathan and Deepak Singh when they raised the Kiro Wraps on July 14, 2025.
When launched, Kiro was ready to be free for users for a period of overview, but all of this changed when his popularity has exceeded expectations.
For the future, it is expected that the plans paid with the measure will return, although it is not clear if AWS will make changes to the costs in the light of the high demand.
Further, it is possible that AWS can also develop the existing models available (Claude Sonnet 3.7 and 4.0), users requesting the management of Gemini 1.5 Pro.
