Grok Bot is completely back for me. Brain, usage. Everything. Magic restored.
OpenBot deleted. Dope idea, good design, but way too buggy and feature-limited to be worth it after using it for a few days. Glad I checked it out, but Grok Bot is still way better than anything else when healthy.
I’ll test 4.8 if you want lmk

Just did a round table review with the Grok @Bot engineering team.
Fixes are being implemented overnight and you should notice a dramatic improvement by tomorrow. If not, reply to this post and we will address any remaining issues right away.
Feature request: please add manual model selection in Grok Bot.
Grok Bot started on Grok 4.6 back in August, but on October 7 it was turned into a model router. Now it picks the backend per task, Claude Opus 5.5 from Anthropic for the heavy lifting, Grok 4.7 for xAI's own work, plus things like Midjourney and Suno for images and audio. Simple questions go to fast small models, complex ones to the big ones. You can't choose manually, and billing follows whichever model actually did the job. Grok 4.8 was supposed to take over most routine traffic once it shipped, but as of late October it still wasn't out.
Please let users manually select which model handles a task, instead of only automatic per-task routing.

The Iran War will go down as one of the biggest self-inflicted failures in political history…
After explicitly running on ending foreign wars and focusing on domestic issues, Iran completely took over Trump’s 2nd term. He has now dramatically increased the odds of handing America to the far-left in 2028.

Agreed. I love Elon and am so grateful for what he does for humanity, and this was an entirely uncool rug pull. Both things can be true.
Elon is getting cooked in the comments, and for good reason.
We all clearly love Grok Bot and the leverage it gives us, but with no warning you just cut our usage in half.
And this is after convincing us to give up our grandfathered in Cursor Ultra subscription, because we could trade third party model access for "50x" GB usage. A deal I took, and then you rug pulled within a week.
I am a big Elon fan, and I get his desire to build sustainable businesses. As a shareholder in his companies, I appreciate that, but as a consumer of his products, I hope for more transparency and notice, as I make purchasing decisions based on what he is offering.
I want nothing to do with Dot, Muse, or Duet (is anyone actually using Duet yet??), but this middle of the night change has me reconsidering ...

Hey @elonmusk Grok Bot just cheated a ton of people out of their usage, and @grok is claiming the problem (if there ever was a problem) had been fixed, but it hasn't. Please make this right.

그록봇 사용량이 갑자기 100%되신분들!!!!
10월30일까지 70%한도였는데,갑자기 오늘 11월1일에 100%가 되었습니다.
이미지 보시면 아시겠지만 절대 30%를 사용할수 없는 양입니다.
이건 분명 오류가 있는것 같다는 생각을 합니다.

@bot 무슨일 있는건가요?
갑자기 사용 한도가 100%에 도달했습니다.
나는 어제까지만해도 분명 70%정도 남았다고 확인 했습니다.
그리고 난 어제 토큰을 효율적으로 관리하기 위해 다양한 세팅들을 진행했구요.
나만 이런건가요?

Poteto is the person who can reset our Grokbot weekly usage because of the issue we're currently experiencing
@poteto grok bot weekly usage got issues this morning resulting to spike of our weekly usage. Mine went from 50% all the way to 100% without any activity
Currently I feel so naked right now😩😩, I feel so exposed and unproductive
Pls reset the Grokbot usage so I can put some clothes back on

This exact thing just happened to me too. I was not over 40% and suddenly got the 90% and usage limit reached message at the same time.

Hello @bot
I’m experiencing an issue with my Grok Bots weekly usage quota.
This morning the usage was at approximately 66%. It then suddenly jumped to 100% even though no bots were running and I was not actively using them. All my bots currently show as idle.
My Primary Bot had previously been tracking the quota and reporting percentages in the 50s earlier in the week. The sudden increase from ~66% to 100% with no visible activity does not match my usage. I use the bots with management
Could you please check the usage logs for my account and confirm whether this was a tracking/accounting error or delayed charge? The system is currently blocking further bot activity at 100%.
Details:
- Approximate time of jump: early morning WAT, 1 November 2026
- Previous visible percentage: ~66%
- Current status: 100% (usage exhausted)
- Reset expected: Thursday, 5 November ~5:36 AM WAT
- Bots involved: Primary Bot and others (trading, meme, football-related bots)
Thank you for looking into this.

Hey @cursor_ai @xai @grok @elonmusk: my Grok Bot weekly usage on the Ultra plan jumped from 44.6% to 92.3% in about 35 minutes today (Nov 1), while the bot only did light work. Breakdown fails too. Emailed support, no reply yet. Please fix ASAP and restore my usage.. @bot

Grok Bot usage jumped to 100% overnight with idle bots. Incident is “resolved” on status.x.ai but I’m still stuck at 100% with usage_exhausted and support says 3–4 days for a human.
Same for anyone else?
