Week 2 of the merged X/Grok/Cursor plan: Grok Bot eats the most usage
A user tracks usage on the merged X, Grok and Cursor subscription, finding Grok Bot the biggest consumer, and plans to trim skills and chat history.
Week 2 on the new merged X, Grok, Cursor Subscription… This week I decided to do some more testing and post what I find, since there are still so many questions about these new plans… Last night had some interesting results… I ran Grok Build (CLI) on 4.7 High for 1 hour and 1 minute to see the rate, and it used 3%… a little surprising, since last week Grok Build was averaging about 2% an hour… Last week I also didn't get a true test of cloud agents on 4.6 Medium, since my run was only about 15 minutes… so last night I ran 2 Cursor cloud agents on 4.6 Medium, one for 18 minutes and one for 8, and together they used 2%… that's about 4.6% an hour, higher than I expected… I'll take this as my new baseline… Overall, last night everything seemed to use more usage than last week… I'm not sure if it was just a busy night or something changed, so I'll keep testing to see if it holds… As you can see from my usage already this week, Grok Bot is my biggest usage eater… I've started adding more skills to my bots, and hopefully that brings their usage down… I'm also going to clean up my chats with my bots, since some of them have very long histories… this was one of the most suggested tips last week, and I'm curious how much of a difference it makes… A little over a day into the new usage week... I been using everything less, but my usage is not far behind this time last week. I'll post another update with anything new I try… Is anyone else seeing higher usage in the tools they are using this week? Let me know in the replies anything you want me to test or any questions you have 🙏
