xPass shared pool in practice: about 350 of 400 units used in a week
The author breaks down xPass's $30 tier shared usage pool, where Grok and Cursor draw from one weekly-refreshing pool and third-party models are billed separately at API prices.
f*cking WILD! xPass (the X Subscription) is grok + grok bot + cursor + x premium for one $30 bill that’s $60 a month saved, $720 a year, versus paying for supergrok, cursor pro and x premium+ separately. most people stop at the price. the part that actually matters is the pool. here’s how it works: - grok and cursor pull from one shared usage pool. chat, voice, images, video and coding agents all come out of the same pot. - the pool refreshes every week, not every month. you can’t burn it on day 3 and sit idle for the rest. - tiers scale it: plus $8 (1×), premium $30 (4×), super $100 (15×), ultra $200 (50×). grok bot (ai teammates) and the x perks come with the plan. - the catch: third-party models inside cursor (premium and up) are billed separately at api prices as top-ups. already paying for supergrok, cursor or x premium? keep it or switch and get a prorated refund. the plan doesn’t decide if you get your money’s worth. how you pace the pool does. example week: ~350 units used of a 400-unit premium pool. tightest on thursday–friday. about 12% left when it refreshes on monday. $0 extra if you stay on grok + cursor’s own models. the real leak is top-ups. one outside model per coding session adds up quietly. if you’d be on premium anyway, check two numbers every week: how much of the pool is left, and how much you’ve spent on top-ups. which would you drop first: supergrok, cursor pro, or x premium+?
