Cursor AI plan billing questioned over Grok Bot usage

A user on Reddit's r/cursor subreddit is expressing frustration with the billing structure for Cursor's AI features, specifically concerning the Grok Bot. The user purchased Cursor Pro to access Grok Bot, but quickly exhausted the weekly allowance. Upon attempting to upgrade to Pro+, they found no credit was applied from the previous subscription, forcing them to pay the full price. After again depleting the Grok Bot allowance, the user faced the same issue when trying to upgrade to Ultra, questioning the logic of weekly quotas on monthly plans and the lack of transparent usage tracking.
