Kilo charging me despite having a Moonshot AI (Kimi) Subscription – How to use my own API Key?
Hi everyone,
I’m running into a very specific issue with the Kilo Code extension in VS Code and I need some help to stop being charged on their dashboard.
The setup:
- I have a paid subscription to Kimi Code (Moonshot AI) and a valid API Key.
- In the Kilo Code UI, I have explicitly selected Kimi K2.5 (see attached screenshot).
The issue:
Despite selecting Kimi, I noticed that the Kilo Code dashboard is showing usage and charging me for Codestral-2508 (a model I didn't select and shouldn't be active).
Thanks for any insights!
