Grok Bot usage meters hit 100% overnight, and many are still stuck
On 1 Nov, many Grok Bot An AI teammate from SpaceXAI that has its own computer, connects to your apps, and can keep working on tasks for you. users on r/GrokBot and X said their weekly Usage meter The percentage in Grok Bot settings that shows how much of your weekly allowance you have used. jumped to 100% while their bots were idle or doing light work. The SpaceXSI Status page The official page that shows whether Grok Bot and related services are working normally. listed a slowdown of the Billing and Usage Dashboard from 1:38pm to 6:53pm MYT and marked it resolved. Users say their meters were not corrected after that. No reset has been announced.
What we learned
Users posted jumps such as 75% to 100% (u/kidqa), 77% to 100% in a few seconds (u/ou2mame) and 42% to 84% while idle (u/LeoRisingGemini).
u/Mysterious_Water1563 says a Cursor support agent named Sam told them support "can't restore or reset included Grok Bot usage in the middle of a weekly cycle".
u/Konoplitski says they upgraded from the RM83 (US$20) plan to the RM248 (US$60) plan, paid the full price with no credit for the old plan, and still saw 30% of their usage gone.
kaize (@0x_kaize) suggests three steps: set a spending limit if On-demand usage Paid usage that continues after your included allowance runs out, billed separately. is on, export your usage CSV as proof, and email support to ask for a recalculation.
Why it matters: If you run work on Grok Bot, check your meter today. If it looks wrong, keep a screenshot and your usage export, contact support, and cap on-demand spending so a wrong count does not turn into a bill.

Singapore ambassador applications, a Philippines bot team and a Bangkok events list
Daren Yoong (@darenyoong), an EV reviewer in Singapore, says he has applied to be a SpaceXSI community ambassador for Singapore and that applications are open. Ambassadors host local meetups for Cursor, Grok and Grok Bot An AI teammate from SpaceXAI that has its own computer, connects to your apps, and can keep working on tasks for you. users. Two other Southeast Asia users shared how they use Grok Bot. The November events calendar on r/GrokBot lists no Malaysia or Singapore meetup yet.
Key learnings
Romcy Madronio (@RRomcym) runs a virtual assistant and lead generation agency in the Philippines. He says he cancelled Claude and now has bots handling sales, operations, finance and content.
Christopher Ehrlich (@ccccjjjjeeee), based in Bangkok and Vienna, told his bot what he likes. Twice a week it searches the web for events and sends him a list.
The November calendar's nearest Asia events are in Kawasaki, Japan (4 Nov), Macau and Taipei (10 Nov), a Macau hackathon (12-14 Nov) and Kandy, Sri Lanka (14 Nov). A Siem Reap, Cambodia meetup was held on 1 Nov.
r/GrokBot passed 20,000 members on 1 Nov.
Why it matters: With no Malaysia meetup on the November list, there is room for a local host. The Philippines and Bangkok examples are simple jobs that small teams here can copy.

Pokemon cards on eBay, a sales sidekick and a staff-made game
Users shared practical builds over the weekend. One sells Pokemon cards on eBay with help from Grok Bot An AI teammate from SpaceXAI that has its own computer, connects to your apps, and can keep working on tasks for you., another made a helper for sales reps on the road. Lauren (@poteto), who works on Grok Bot at SpaceXSI, released a small web game she made with Grok Bot and Cursor. These are the creators' own accounts.
Key learnings
u/LogieBear46 says Grok Bot helps run about 200 eBay listings of Pokemon cards. They photograph binder pages, and the bot turns the photos into a spreadsheet of cards.
u/Worldly_Way3252 built "Roadie", a sidekick for field sales reps, and shared the starter prompt and a demo video. They also describe a second bot for trade events.
Lauren (@poteto) says the game cost her US$5.99 (about RM25) for the domain. Her post has more than 1,800 likes.
u/DatabaseActive8764 asked whether Grok Bot can handle customer service on WhatsApp. It is a common question for small businesses in this region, and the thread has no clear answer yet.
Why it matters: The eBay and Roadie posts show the pattern that works: a clear, repeated job with a simple input, such as photos or a contact list. Start there before building anything big.

Tips & how-to
Do it by hand, save it as a skill, then schedule it
AIMax (@Max_XuY) posted a simple order for setting up automations in Grok Bot An AI teammate from SpaceXAI that has its own computer, connects to your apps, and can keep working on tasks for you.: do the task once in chat, save it as a Skill A saved set of steps your bot can repeat when you ask by name., and only then turn it into a Routine A saved instruction that runs on a schedule or when something happens, even when you are away.. He says skipping the first step is why most automations break. Other users shared small tips worth copying.
Key learnings
AIMax's steps: do the task by hand in chat, say "save what we just did as a skill called X", then say "run X every weekday 8am".
He also uses a weekly routine that collects what he did and turns it into draft posts for Monday. Nothing posts without him.
GHADEER (@ghadeerrmajeed), founder of Arca, says Grok Bot routines can be started from outside with a Webhook A web address another app can call to start an action, such as a routine., for example to reply in a customer support chat.
His shared prompt also tells the bot to read his past posts to match his voice, and to flag any claim it cannot source.
Why it matters: Testing a task by hand first costs little and saves usage, which matters more this week while meters are unreliable.

Hype check
Hype check: a made-up command, a quota rumour and recycled staff clips
Some of the weekend's busiest Grok Bot An AI teammate from SpaceXAI that has its own computer, connects to your apps, and can keep working on tasks for you. posts make claims we could not confirm. Treat them as claims until an official source backs them.
Key learnings
delost (@thedelost) says SpaceXAI "just shared" a Routine A saved instruction that runs on a schedule or when something happens, even when you are away. trick with the command grokbot routine add nightly --gate send. We found no official post or documentation for this command. The general idea, that a routine should stop before it sends, spends or deletes, is sensible.
u/hossein1376 argues on r/GrokBot that the 100% jump is a quiet cut to the weekly quota, not a bug. The Status page The official page that shows whether Grok Bot and related services are working normally. called it a dashboard incident, and we found no SpaceXSI statement that quotas changed.
Accounts posting "This is f*cking insane" clips of SpaceXSI staff, such as Lauren Tan and an engineer named as Nick Miller, push readers to outside links. Watch the original talks instead.
Elon Musk posted that Grok Bot "will research gifts that your friends and family would love and buy them". We found no matching feature announcement. Do not let a bot buy anything without your OK.
Why it matters: Copy commands and prompts only from official docs or people you can check. A command that does not exist wastes time, and a rumour about quotas can push people into upgrades they do not need.
