This is how I learn that they shutdown the awards for Kiro usage.
But more seriously, while this is worded as a result of abuse, it had been up for more than a year at this point as a way to push people to use Kiro (you get badges for each "level" basically). Once you reach a point where everyone is using those tools, it makes no sense to keep it around.
Also it was not related to any performance metric, it was a pure vanity thing of getting virtual awards to display.
