   I am also having this super frustrating issue. I am using paid Kimi K2.5, yet it happens quite often even when working on a single task at a time.

   Is there any support at all for this service?

   I think the problem is Fireworks (IFAIK used in Zen). The metrics on OpenRouter says they are one of the worst providers. Reliability was 50% for Kimi K2.5. I hope Zen will eventually switch to something more stable because this is unbearable.

   I switched to OpenRouter, selected the top 5 performing providers and it's working great. I can work on multiple tasks at the same time without any issues and the speed is basically the same, or at least I can't see any difference so far.

   Thanks. I also tried OpenRouter and it highly varies which provider it selects.

   BTW, I found it very interesting that Fireworks does not even bother to show Kimi K2.5 on their status page: https://status.fireworks.ai/

   Apparently, it looks like they resign on updating the status website with newer models or the models have such bad uptime they do not even want to show it.

   I recommend you only enable the best performing providers in the settings, instead of letting OpenRouter pick any provider available, since some of them are slow.
