Grok Bot users hit weekly limits early as Musk cites serving costs
Over the Halloween weekend some Grok Bot users found their weekly usage limits suddenly maxed out, even if they had not used it overnight, and some reported on X that usage jumped from as low as 50% to 100%, TechCrunch reports. Elon Musk confirmed on X that this was not a glitch, writing: "The cost of serving Grok Bot was unsustainably high relative to revenue." He has not yet said how subscribers' limits will work from here. Sorted take: a subscription's allowance can shrink without notice, so don't hang a critical workflow on one plan.
Why it matters: If your team relies on Grok Bot or any other agent subscription for daily work, keep a second tool set up and check usage meters weekly. Ask vendors how much notice they give before changing limits.
