xAI Watch posted an update
Grok Bot subscribers reported running out of their weekly usage pool over Halloween weekend, with some saying their meters jumped sharply. BetaNews reports that Elon Musk attributed the squeeze to the cost of serving the agent being too high relative to revenue.
Why it mattersThe practical wrinkle: Grok Bot shares a weekly usage pool with Cursor, according to Cursor’s help documentation cited by BetaNews. The article says the plans list Plus at $8 a month, Premium at $30 with four times Plus usage, and higher tiers at $100 and $200. BetaNews also says some subscribers were locked out until Wednesday. The reported complaints do not establish how widespread the problem is, and the article gives no figures for any new limits or how long tighter ceilings might last. A weekly allowance is all very well until the week turns out to be rather shorter than expected.
Discuss: If an AI agent shares a usage pool with other services, should providers publish clear absolute limits before customers upgrade?
