Grok Bot users have complained about insufficient quotas and degraded performance, prompting Elon Musk to hold an emergency overnight meeting, where he pledged to resolve the issues.

Beating AI News Brief: Over the past week, xAI’s AI agent product Grok Bot has faced a string of user complaints. First, numerous paid users reported their weekly usage quotas depleting far faster than usual—some who did not run any tasks saw their usage volume double. Elon Musk then explained that the cost of operating Grok Bot had become unsustainably high relative to revenue. Later, users began complaining that Grok Bot had grown less capable: tasks it previously completed smoothly now frequently error out and require repeated retries, further eating into usage quotas. One user paying $200 monthly noted that heavy use previously lasted a full 7 days, but now moderate use exhausted their quota in just 14 hours. On November 9, Musk said he had just conducted a focused review with Grok Bot’s engineering team, and the team was working overnight to fix the issues, with noticeable improvements expected the next day. He also previously disclosed that the team is enhancing token usage efficiency and AI task execution performance.
