Why didn't my Grok Bot usage reset with SuperGrok?

Grok Bot usage is metered on your Cursor account, not on Grok or X, and resets weekly on its own timer. Eligible accounts can add on-demand usage.

Asked on X: https://x.com/RobotHomestead/status/2109392735220433207

Short answer

It depends on whether you've switched to The X Subscription. If you haven't, your Grok Bot usage is not counted on Grok. Cursor's plans page says "Grok Bot usage is metered on your Cursor account, not on Grok or X," and a SuperGrok link "does not create a second meter on Grok or X." [1] The page also says that usage "resets weekly," but it doesn't say which day, so we won't guess. [1]

If you've switched, "your Grok Bot usage entitlement will come from the new weekly shared pool." [3] Once that pool runs out, "Additional Usage is paid from prepaid top-up credit." [4] To check, the docs say: "After switching: on grok.com/dashboard, open Usage." [3]

Steps

To keep going before the reset, the page says on-demand is "extra usage after weekly usage runs out." The FAQ says "eligible accounts can add on-demand usage." On-demand is "Billed through Cursor."

Step 1: In Grok Bot, open Settings > Usage & Billing.

Step 2: Find On-demand monthly limit and choose Enable if it is off.

If it still fails

If you subscribed in the iOS or Android app, the page says to "enable on-demand on the web." The docs don't say whether a SuperGrok link counts as eligible.

What users are reporting (not official)

We collected these first-hand reports from X. They are not official and we couldn't verify them.

One user reported that upgrading their Cursor plan didn't add Grok Bot usage until the next weekly reset, so they had to use on-demand in the meantime. (post)
One user reported buying $20 of extra usage from Cursor without their usage resetting, and then having to turn on on-demand. (post)
One user reported that their usage page stayed at 90% all day while their spending page showed $14.04 of on-demand use. (post)
One user reported that their usage reset to 0% after they switched to The X Subscription. (post)

These reports suggest checking both the usage and spending pages. The switch report is from a single user, and the docs don't promise a reset when you change plans.

A SuperGrok or X Premium+ link grants Grok Bot usage on that same Cursor account while SuperGrok or X Premium+ stays active.

It does not create a second meter on Grok or X

It resets weekly.

On-demand usage in Grok Bot is extra usage after weekly usage runs out.

The row says Billed through Cursor.
