Musk says Grok Bot costs too much; many meters drop back
Asked on X about a usage reset, Elon Musk replied on 2 Nov (4:34am MYT): "The cost of serving Grok Bot An AI teammate from SpaceXAI that has its own computer, connects to your apps, and can keep working on tasks for you. was unsustainably high relative to revenue." Later that day, many users on r/GrokBot and X said their weekly meters fell back, often by about half, with the same reset date. SpaceXSI has not explained the drop, and the pricing and limits pages look unchanged.
What we learned
Users reported drops such as 100% to 52% (u/Pano021), 86% back from 100% (u/Toraadoraa) and 40% to 21% (u/Haunting_Jump6471).
u/jadmorffier logged their meter by hand: it jumped from 29.8% to 59.8% in 7 hours on about 0.5M tokens, then fell to 37.3%. They call it a likely reversal, not a confirmed one.
The same user emailed support with meter readings, token counts and a usage CSV. An AI support agent replied with a ticket number; no human reply yet.
Some users say tasks still use about twice as much of the Weekly limit The amount of Grok Bot work your plan includes each week, shown as a percentage that resets on a set day. as before. That is a community claim, not an official figure.
Why it matters: Your meter may already look better, but limits seem tighter than last month. Write down your meter reading each day so you can show support exact numbers if it jumps again.

Malaysia & SEA
Singapore shop lets your AI fill the cart, you approve payment
Tanatasa, an online store in Singapore, says it is the country's first "agent-first" shop. You ask an AI assistant such as Grok Bot An AI teammate from SpaceXAI that has its own computer, connects to your apps, and can keep working on tasks for you. to find, compare and add items to a cart, and you approve before anything is paid. This is the store's own claim; we found no SpaceXSI announcement about it.
Key learnings
The store sells groceries, household items, health, beauty, baby and pet products, and says delivery across Singapore is free.
Its site lists Grok, Grok Bot, Perplexity, Meta Muse, OpenAI Dots, Claude Duet and ChatGPT as assistants that can shop there.
It offers an API and an MCP connection so assistants can read the catalogue and build a cart.
It delivers only in Singapore, so it is not usable from Malaysia for now.
Why it matters: It is an early Southeast Asia example of shops being built for AI shoppers. Malaysian retailers could watch how it works, and anyone trying it should keep the approve-before-paying step.

Fox (@0xMfox) found a routine reading a muted Slack channel about 1,900 times a week. They limited it to mentions, moved an inbox summary from every 15 minutes to 8am and 6pm, and say they now end the week with 31% left.
They also warn that each press of Test runs the real job and uses real usage.
CyberDog (@haiway) says asking "how am I doing" returned weekly use, reset time, included vs On-demand usage Paid usage that continues after your included allowance runs out, billed separately. and a 30-day breakdown.
u/Machine2024 shared a free usage report bot that draws charts by bot and routine. They say each report costs about 0.35% of the weekly allowance on the RM125 (US$30) plan.

Use cases & community
An eSIM startup run by bots, and bots that film clicks
Two users shared practical setups on r/GrokBot. One is starting a travel eSIM shop with a separate bot for each job. The other makes Grok Bot An AI teammate from SpaceXAI that has its own computer, connects to your apps, and can keep working on tasks for you. record a video every time it uses a browser with their logins. These are the creators' own accounts.
Key learnings
u/natehohohoho, from Taiwan, set up Boss, Supplier, Website, Design, Marketing, Customer service and Accounting bots. Each keeps its own memory, and one bot can ask another for information.
They say the bots are sometimes confidently wrong, so nothing is sent or posted without their check. It is week 1, with no orders yet.
u/nuwa2502 built a Skill A saved set of steps your bot can repeat when you ask by name. that records the bot's desktop to an MP4 whenever it controls a browser, then sends the video and a summary of what it clicked.
They do not watch every video, but say the recording makes it easier to trust the bot with sensitive tasks.
Why it matters: Splitting work into one bot per job and keeping a record of what bots do are two simple habits a small business can copy before trusting bots with real accounts.
