By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user on the new Cursor Premium plan reported that eight messages sent to Grok Chat consumed 1.5 million tokens, representing 3% of their weekly quota. The user noted that one message alone used 288,000 tokens, and a significant portion of the token usage was attributed to cached prompts.
