- Existing Kiro users are limited, new users are not welcome
- Price information has been drawn – Could a change already be on the way?
- Users quoted bad results and a desire for additional models
Just days after Amazon Web Services launched its new Kiro AI coding tool, the company has introduced daily use limits and a waiting list for new users due to high demand.
By introducing these temporary measures, AWS hopes to buy its teams time to scale the supporting infrastructure and improve performance after complaints from early adoptors that performance was already suboptimal.
Existing users are advised not to install Kiro on multiple machines where warnings are now triggered when they read the temporarily imposed use limits.
AWS Kiro limits
Although Kiro is hardly a week old and the temporary limitations are even newer, malicious actors have already been busy preparing a fake download site to take advantage of users seeking unlimited access. Without the opportunity to bypass boundaries or buy extra tokens, users are encouraged to be patient.
Originally offered in Free, Pro and Pro+ Tiers, AWS has removed price information, saying that “Updated price information for different levels will be shared soon.”
“The way people and machines coordinate to build software is still messy and fragmented, but we’re working to change it,” explained Nikhil Swaminathan and Deepak Singh as they lifted the wrapping of Kiro on July 14, 2025.
When it was launched, Kiro was set to be free for users during a preview period, but it all changed when the popularity exceeded expectations.
Looking forward, it is expected that paid plans with measurement will return, even if it is unclear whether AWS will make changes to the costs of light of high demand.
Further down the line, it is possible that AWS can also expand the existing available models (Claude Sonnet 3.7 and 4.0), with users requesting support for Gemini 1.5 Pro.
