TechCrunch reports Musk throttled Grok Bot usage limits.
Some Grok Bot users complained that their limits ran out quickly, while others said it took days for them to reset. Musk said serving the bot cost an “unsustainably high” amount relative to revenue. In a separate exchange, he asked whether upgrading to a higher-usage tier was too expensive. TechCrunch reports that he throttled usage limits over those costs; Forbes notes that Musk’s posts did not explicitly say the limits had been lowered. The complaints don’t identify which subscription tiers were affected. That contrasts with Musk’s description less than two weeks earlier of Grok Bot as the fastest-growing product he had ever seen, with usage per user growing. The product he praised for its rapid growth now comes with a conversation about the cost of serving it.
