Grok Bot usage limits: the complaints, Musk’s promised fixes and a weekly reset for everyone

What happened, day by day

• November 1: Musk said the cost of running Grok Bot was “unsustainably high relative to revenue.”
• November 2: some subscribers reported their usage meter jumping to 100% in the middle of the week.
• November 7 and 8: more complaints on X. One subscriber said a $200 plan that used to last a week of heavy work ran out in about 14 hours. That is his own account and has not been verified.
• November 8: Musk replied “I will dig into this today,” then posted that fixes were underway. That evening he said fixes were “being implemented overnight” and that users should “notice a dramatic improvement by tomorrow.”
• November 9: the official Grok Bot account posted that weekly limits had been reset for all users.

What changed, and what did not

Changed: everyone’s weekly usage went back to zero on November 9. A Grok Bot team member also said improvements to usage limits and to how tasks are sent to models were on the way, with more changes over the coming weeks.

Not changed: the plans and prices. The Grok Bot page still lists Premium at $30 a month, Super at $100 a month with 3.5 times the Premium usage, and Ultra at $200 a month with 12 times the Premium usage. Usage past the weekly amount is billed by what it costs to run. No one has published a list of the fixes or any numbers showing how much longer a week of usage now lasts.

How to check your own usage

• Desktop app: open Settings, then Usage & Billing, and scroll to Grok Bot Usage. The Usage limits section shows how much of the week you have used and when it resets.
• Phone: open Settings, then Usage.
• Web: open the dashboard on grok.com and choose Usage.

Two things use up the week faster than people expect. Every run of a scheduled routine counts, including test runs. And work keeps going in the cloud after you close the app. Our Grok Bot limits guide covers the rest.

Our take

A reset is a one-time gesture, not a fix. Until SpaceXSI says what changed, assume your week can still run out early if you run many routines or long jobs. Check the usage screen a few days into your week, and pause routines you do not need. If you are choosing a plan, our Grok Bot pricing guide compares them.
