I’m not saying you’re wrong (I have no experience), but wouldn’t it be useful to test this model out for yourself before passing judgment on it?

Since you've volunteered as tribute, give it a shot and let us know if the quota has improved.
As tribute, I bit the bullet on the $40 plan to test out K3.1 Pro.
Still burning through the 5-hour rate limit way too quickly, though. Output quality seems solid enough, but the value will probably make a lot more sense via API pricing for smaller projects.
My current tier list based on what I’ve been testing:
1. Opus 5.5
2. Astra
3. Argon
4. Kimi K3.1 Pro
(For lightweight/daily driver tasks, Gemini Flash 3.8, DeepSeek Flash, and Luna are still up there as favorites.)
In my experience, the difference between your 1 & 2, and your 2 & 3 are huge, and I don't find Argon to be usable for any big tasks because it really does a big mess every now and then (which Astra also does but much less frequently and not in a "I just implemented something else with unusable code" way), and Placing Kimi after it seems like a very low evaluation.
