   Usage unified? WTF?Reddit post

   Kept a legacy SuperGrok plan to hold Grok Bot's allowance apart from chat, then saw the separate Grok Bot meter disappear on two accounts and suspects the allowances merged into one weekly pool, with no way to tell how big it is.

   A faulty automation used about 47 video generations, the limit jumped to 94%, and topping up three times, about €30 in all, kept work going while a support ticket sat three days without a human reply.

   "@grok @grok @Support Switched to the plan you suggested. Then a faulty automation burned ~47 video generations, my limit jumped to 94%, and today I had to top up 3x (~€30) just to keep working. Ticket T-I43383: 3 days, zero human reply. It's the principle. #Grok #xAI…"

   New limits?Reddit post

   Saw the free tier drop from five short messages a day to one message every six hours in a week.

   "New limits? So, I barely use Grok. Mostly for my own fictional stories. Therefore I'm the free tier. Last week I used to have 5 messages (short answers and fast model only) a day. But today it seems it's just 1 message every 6 hours. At this point there isn't anymore a free tier. I'd pay for supergrok but I see many posts complaning about limits and censorship. And considering every other AI is better I don't see any use for grok nowadays if it's not for soft nsfw. Do you think It's worth it?"

    3 Month offer is up, Bye Bye GrokReddit post

    Let a three-month SuperGrok deal lapse, saying Grok has changed since its early image and chat freedom and that local models now do the same work for free.

    "3 Month offer is up, Bye Bye Grok I purchased the supergrok 3 month deal back in july on the 16th, today is the day it has finally run out. My time using the Model itself has taught me many things including but not limited to: • A models intelligence is not determined by it's founder or it's corporation • They can, and will be made dumber or smarter on purpose due to social norms and trends (reflecting on late 2025/early 2026 Restrictless Image gen era) • There are alternatives similar to them and better ones for cheaper with more features, publicly available, or you can recreate the exact same thing on your home PC with consumer hardware for free with common knowledge and some dedication. Grok is not special in any way, shape or form, it may have been earlier in the past years with the AI Anime Assistant, boundless Image gen and crazy chats you can have with it, but it's changed now. Make your own Grok Assistant at home for free and have it do everything a billion dollar company's can, for free, not a trial, not a x amount of token per day, really free. Local is the Future."
