Kiro “Too many requests” error how long does it take to resolve?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been getting this error in Kiro for about a day now:

>

Request ID: e23fe523-7bdf-4bdc-8de0-b423b78167da

It’s been roughly 24 hours, and I’m still unable to use it. Has anyone else experienced this recently? How long did it take for the error to resolve, and is there anything I can do on my end?

Thanks!

"Due to suspicious activity, we are imposing temporary limits on how frequently your account (c4886438-6061-7046-1602-692766a345b3) can send a request to Kiro while we investigate.

Kiro Pro account stuck on 429 "Too many requests" — support form also broken, need help

Been getting repeated 429 errors ("Too many requests, please wait before trying again") on my Kiro Pro account for regular day-to-day dev work, nothing automated. Tried submitting a support ticket through the official form multiple times with different wording, subject lines etc. and it keeps failing with "The request contains invalid parameters" — so I can't even get a ticket in.

Account ID: d-9066701085 Region: us-east-1 Request IDs: fee3633c-697e-46e9-9bea-a3021d0ce1e8, 3c9c722f-4e98-42c2-b8a5-ee1e6330a337

This is blocking our work completely right now. If anyone from the Kiro team sees this, would really appreciate a hand — SOS 🙏

Permissions requests

I know that I cannot be the only person who gets so frustrated with the permission requests. I will tell it to always allow a PowerShell command for all workspaces, but then Kiro will immediately make the same call and ask permission again. This cannot be that hard to fix.

Kiro Pro Max subscription suspended

Hello,

Hope i can find the help where i'm looking for, my Kiro Pro Max subscription was suspended without notice, without e-mail, without upfront messages

In the IDE i got the following message: Your User ID is temporarily suspended. We detected unusual user activity and locked it as a security precaution. To restore access, please contact our support team to verify your identity: https://support.aws.amazon.com/#/contacts/kiro  (Request ID: 935af302-c495-4db0-9fc6-2e3e17503125)

In the mean time the builder-id is no longer visible in AWS console, where it first was shown as canceled.

There were about 4000 credits remaining in the account, i have openend ticket with AWS, they pointed that there were 2 issues and they were investigating.

But the poiint is that if users get blocked / suspended, you have people to support them as, and people to fix the problem for them / find the root cause.

but we are nearing day 4

DM is open if you want to contact me

Kiro locked account as "security precaution"

I am on the Kiro Power plan signed in with Google. I use Kiro for research at my university, how do I get this unlocked. Happy to share links to my research publications on swarm robots, fun stuff.

It probably didn't like that have very slow weeks and very productive weekends since I work full time too 🙃

Happy to provide more details, if there is any way to contact support by chat, I welcome that.

Cheers

Kiro flagged my account, now it doesn't let me cancel my subscription

I was working through my paper with kiro until I got this message "Your User ID is temporarily suspended. We detected unusual user activity and locked it as a security precaution. To restore access, please contact our support team to verify your identity: https://support.aws.amazon.com/#/contacts/kiro (Request ID: ...)"

Frustrated with this, I tried cancelling my subscription, but it doesn't let me: "Unable to obtain payment portal URL: User is not authorized to access this feature". What are my options at this point? Should I block the future transaction on my credit card? Thanks.

Kiro subscription "not authorized," multiple cases, no real answer

I tried to reactivate on Aug 10, I got:

"Failed to create Kiro subscription for 1 user. Your account is not authorized to make this call."

I've filed multiple support cases since then. I gave them everything ,account ID, error text, usage dashboards showing near-daily activity for months. One agent finally gave me a straight answer: it's an internal account-level assessment, unrelated to usage, and they can't override it or tell me why. Just "reach out again if circumstances change."

What's the point of having support if the answer is "there's nothing we can do"? Are we just stuck indefinitely? All my project work is on hold because of this, and there's zero timeline, zero explanation, and zero way to appeal it.

Anyone else dealing with this? Did anyone actually get resolved, and if so, how long did it take?

Using Kiro CLI 80% of the time at work and I keep drifting back to Claude Code. Am I holding it wrong?

Kiro CLI is what we use at work, so I've put quite a few hours into it over the past few weeks. In my personal time, I use Claude Code, and I constantly find myself wanting to go back to it.

Before I write this off as bias, I'd like a quick sanity check from people using Kiro regularly. A few of these issues might just be down to my local setup, and I'd much rather find a fix/workaround than just complain.

(Setup: Windows 11, WSL2 Ubuntu)

  • Sessions & Persistence: If I forget which directory I started a session in, I have to go folder by folder to find the history. On top of that, I lost every active session after a forced Windows restart. Is there a global session manager or a persistence setting I missed? (Claude Code restored sessions without issue).
  • The scroll jump bug: While typing, the TUI randomly jumps back to the top of the conversation. I now have to keep a finger on the End key. This was reported in #7784 back in April and is still marked pending-maintainer-response. Is there any known workaround?
  • Images & Clipboard: Having to use /paste every time feels clunky. In Claude Code, standard Ctrl+V just works. Is there a config flag or wrapper that enables native clipboard paste for images in Kiro?
  • Plugins / Skills / MCP: Claude Code has an ecosystem of add-ons/superpowers that noticeably alter agent behavior. I couldn't find a direct equivalent or clear MCP integration guide for Kiro. Did I miss it, or is extensibility still in the works?
  • Output Quality: Fully subjective, but consistent across the same models (Sonnet / Opus): Claude Code consistently produces better results. The model is only half the equation—the rest is the harness (system prompts, context pruning, tool definitions). I'm open to being told my prompting style is the culprit here, though.
  • Very subjective, but TUI of Claude Code is so much better, more intuitive and user-friendly

TL;DR: For those who genuinely prefer Kiro over Claude Code, what makes it click for you?

Kiro needs to change URGENTLY

I've been using Kiro for about a year now. I use it daily at work, and I've also spent around two months using Pro and Pro+ for personal projects.

Honestly, Kiro suffers from bugs so ridiculous that if Kiro's own developers used Kiro to fix them, they'd probably be gone in a day.

On top of that, there are several product decisions that simply don't make sense to me. Here are some of the biggest issues I've run into:

  1. Autopilot simply doesn't work properly for me

It constantly asks for permission to perform extremely basic actions: listing a directory, running grep, creating a test file that I explicitly asked it to create, etc.

This is completely different from other AI IDEs I've used, where "autopilot" actually means the agent can operate autonomously without stopping every few seconds for trivial permissions.

  1. "Understood."

This bug is so classic at this point that I don't even think I need to explain it.

  1. Longer sessions are unreliable

Even in moderately long sessions, it's common for the chat to suddenly stop because of some conversation error, or for the session to simply restart.

For a tool that's supposed to handle large coding tasks, this is incredibly frustrating.

  1. The model lineup makes no sense

Kiro still keeps Sonnet 4 and several older Opus versions available. Who is realistically going to choose Opus 4.5 over 4.8 or 5.0 when they all have the same credit multiplier?

Meanwhile, OpenAI models like Luna are still stuck in "preview" with a 256k context window.

The Auto pricing also doesn't make much sense to me. Auto costs 1x while Terra is also 1x and Luna is only 0.1x, despite those models being better choices for many coding tasks than the MiniMax, Qwen, and DeepSeek models that Auto may route you to.

What's the point of paying 1x for Auto if manually selecting a better model can cost the same — or literally 10x less?

  1. Random fatal bugs

And then there are the various fatal errors and random bugs that seem to happen for no obvious reason.

I actually like the idea behind Kiro, which is why I've kept using it for this long. But after roughly a year, some of these issues are getting ridiculous.

The core product has a lot of potential, but basic reliability, permissions/autopilot behavior, model selection, and pricing logic need serious attention.

At this point, I don't think Kiro needs more models or more features nearly as much as it needs its existing experience to actually work consistently.

Excessive Token usage in V3 CLI

Today I used CLI to execute one unit of task with both V2 and V3 and noticed V3 took almost twice as much tokens with similar output as V2.

Anyone has seen this? Any pointers on how to reduce the token usage in V3?

Why no Intellij chat plugin?

I prefer using chat. I don't like the IDE which is just a VS code fork and I don't like the CLI.

Edit: Tried using Kiro-CLI in IntelliJ AI Chat, but it's a lot dumber for some reason.
