What Hacker News says
5 sourcesMy AWS Kiro account was suspended after upgrading to their $200/month Power plan. GitHub issues and Discord suggest it's widespread.

There's been no direct explanation for the suspensions, though an AWS staff member did post this on the Kiro Discord around the same time:
"We're tuning our fraud and abuse detection systems, which has impacted some valid accounts... We've cleared the backlog of remaining cases, except for a handful that require additional investigation. Most users can expect a response within 12 hours."

In Kiro: A new agentic IDEI'll look into this. Kiro is supposed to be doing progressive reindexing. When you make a change it should only have to reindex the files that changed. If you have any logs or other data you are willing to share, to help the team investigate you can use the "report a bug / suggest an idea" link at the bottom, or open an issue at: https://github.com/kirodotdev/Kiro/issues
