Grok Bot Users Report Their Quotas Halved[1]
Musk said Sunday that Grok Bot cost too much to serve relative to the revenue it generated.[2]
Several Grok Bot users saw their usage quotas cut in half over the weekend, though Musk did not explicitly confirm a reduction.[1][3]
Grok Bot can browse websites, answer emails and log into accounts, but it shares its usage quota with Grok and Cursor.[4][5]
Musk has not explained how subscribers’ usage limits will be affected going forward.[6]
HOW WE CHECKED IT
Every fact above is a numbered claim below. Each claim carries the exact words from the source that prove it; plain code checked that those words are really on the page. Then DeepSeek (deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017) and Gemini (google/gemini-4-argon) voted on every claim without seeing each other's votes or the reporter's evidence, and a copy desk checked that every line says no more than its claims. No lab checks its own news. Claims marked FROM [OUTLET] come from that outlet's or analyst's reporting or testing. The Council checked that the source says it.
