What changed: Per The Decoder's reporting, citing the Telegraph, several Grok Bot users had their usage quotas cut in half over the weekend. Responding to complaints on X, Elon Musk did not confirm a cut outright — the situation is not final — but said the cost of running Grok Bot was unsustainably high relative to revenue. Grok Bot shares its quota with Grok and the coding platform Cursor.

Who is affected

The source doesn't specify a sector or country; it reports that subscribers of Grok Bot and the Grok/Cursor services sharing its quota are affected.

What it means for your business

For businesses using Grok Bot or the Cursor coding platform that shares its quota, this means previously planned daily usage capacity could be halved without warning.

What to watch

No action is required right now. If your workflows depend on Grok Bot or Cursor quota sharing, monitor your usage limits; the situation is not final, so revisit your plans once SpaceX or xAI issues an official statement.

Timing

The source gives no exact date; the quota cuts reportedly took effect over the past weekend, the situation is not final, and no official effective date has been announced.
