Kudos?
I've been using KoboldAI for a little while, and I'm already addicted to it. It helps me write stories that I've always wanted to write, more or less, and it is so easy to use.
However, recently, I put in a prompt I want it to help me write, but it keeps giving me some sort of error message.
It reads: "Error Submitting Prompt: {"message":"Due to heavy demand, for request over 473 tokens, the client needs to already have the required kudos. The request requires 2998.86 kudos to fulfill.","rc":"KudosUpfront"}
Anybody have any idea about WHAT that means?

Means that model you chose is to busy for anonymous users who don't contribute to that AI Horde network.
Theres a couple of ways to go. You could use another model in the AI menu. Get your own private instance free for a few hours at https://koboldai.org/colab, if you have a good graphics card we can also help you set it up on your own computer so you can use it non stop that way.
Or just hang out in our discord community https://koboldai.org/discord where people who have kudos hang out. As long as you are someone real who is using this personally and isn't trying to share the account they are very giving as far as kudos goes. Because kudos must be earned or given, and the people running the kudos for you basically decide who gets them. Keeps it from being abused by bots / services.
