Cursor users report confusion over Grok Bot usage and billing

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

Users of the Cursor code editor are reporting confusion and frustration regarding how their usage of Grok Bot, an AI assistant, impacts their subscription plans. Specifically, users on Cursor Pro and Pro+ plans are finding that their Grok Bot allowances deplete rapidly, and that upgrading to higher tiers does not always credit them for the unused portion of their previous plan. This is reportedly due to Grok Bot's sub-agents utilizing the main token pool, which is separate from the allocated Grok Bot weekly usage, leading to unexpected overages and a feeling of being "scammed" by the pricing structure.
