Spend your Grok weekly usage pool on purpose

spend-your-grok-weekly-usage-pool

Use this when you want to choose how the week is spent instead of watching the bar disappear. X Subscription paid seats include one shared weekly pool for eligible first-party usage across supported Grok and Cursor surfaces, including Grok Bot on Premium and up. Leftover SuperGrok plans still include one shared weekly pool across Grok products, with Grok Bot on a separate meter. Official leftover FAQ sections How is my weekly usage measured? and How do I get the most from my weekly usage? still apply to that SuperGrok path: a chat message uses little compute; a high-quality video or a long coding task uses far more. Hub: Plans, billing and usage. Neighboring jobs: Check your weekly Grok usage and what happens at the cap, Is Grok Bot included in each X Subscription tier?, and How Grok Build usage fits the shared weekly pool.

This page is about how the pool is spent. For reading the meter and the cap, see Check your weekly Grok usage and what happens at the cap.

Read the product breakdown

  1. On The X Subscription, open grok.com/dashboard → Usage after you switch. Before you switch, Bot usage is on cursor.com/dashboard.
  2. On leftover SuperGrok, open Grok on the web or in the app and go to Settings → Usage.
  3. Read the progress bar and the weekly reset time. On The X Subscription the weekly pool covers Chat, Imagine, Voice, and Bot. Grok API is not in that pool (x.ai/pricing, checked 2026-10-14). The leftover SuperGrok FAQ still prints its own product breakdown; do not treat that leftover list as the new-plan layout.

Use whatever breakdown your dashboard actually prints when one surface is eating the week. Chat-heavy weeks leave more room for Imagine or long coding jobs. A run of high-quality video or long Cursor / Build sessions leaves less for everything else. On The X Subscription, Grok Bot turns are part of that same first-party bar on Premium and up.

Spend patterns that match the published guidance

  • Prefer chat for cheap iteration (drafts, Q&A, light edits).
  • Treat high-quality video and long coding sessions as expensive draws on the same first-party bar.
  • Watch the Usage tab before you start a heavy batch.
  • Plan around the reset time on that tab (it is account-specific).
  • On The X Subscription, remember that supported Cursor first-party work and Grok Bot share the seat's week. Team seats do not share weekly pools with each other.

Top-ups vs the included pool

When the included weekly pool is exhausted, paid first-party features that draw it pause until reset. Free-tier Chat and Voice keep their own free limits on a separate schedule.

On The X Subscription, continue with top-ups, Auto Top-up, and spending caps. Third-party models in Cursor are not part of the included week. They use credits from the first use on Premium and above. Plus is Grok models only.

On leftover SuperGrok, the web Usage tab still sells Extra Usage Credits, Auto Top Up, or a plan upgrade. Extra Usage Credits cost more per action than the usage included in the plan. If you hit the bar every week, the leftover FAQ's advice is to upgrade for a larger included pool. Extra Usage Credits are web-only on that leftover path; mobile in-app purchase for credits is listed as coming later.

Pitfalls

  • Treating Grok Bot plan / sand-token usage as a separate meter on The X Subscription. That separate-meter sentence is for leftover SuperGrok-family plans only.
  • Expecting Extra Credits or top-ups to enlarge the included percentage before you buy them. They apply after the included week is gone.
  • Signing in with a login that does not own the subscription. The Usage tab will look wrong.
  • Assuming third-party Cursor models spend the included first-party week. They bill from credits on Premium and above.
  • Treating Grok API as weekly-pool spend. Paid plans include API access, billed separately at standard model rates. The weekly price does not include API usage.
