At every Grok release I commented on here how much I love Grok. It’s the consumer app and model I like the most, but my sentiment has changed. The usage limits on all the Grok subscriptions are now terrible, maybe because 4.6 and 4.7 (not in the app yet) eat more compote? I’m not sure what happened
My SuperGrok subscription previously easily lasted me through the week even with mild coding through Grok Build. Now when I use the app 1-2 times a day to ask some questions, I’m almost running out by the end of the 7 days. It’s terrible.
I want to keep using Grok but logically it makes no sense for me to keep paying for it on the side when my quota just doesn’t last. I have also no desire to upgrade to Plus with these terrible limits, while previously I would have eaten up a $100/mo Grok plan. Rumors say SuperGrok got heavily nerfed with the SuperGrok Plus introduction, and that sounds about right to me.
I’m sure it’s a great model and I’d love to use it. I hope they get their plans under control and only only focus on Grok Bot.
I mostly use grok voice mode (on iOS) and share similar sentiments (just 1-2 conversations per day before quota runs out).
Even worse, the mere risk of quota exhaustion mid-conversation makes me not risk starting convos with Grok, instead I'll use ChatGPT or Claude (even though Claude is inferior for non-coding tasks, and ChatGPT is inferior for all tasks).
In fairness to xAI, they're a profit-motivated company like any other, so they cannot give us tokens for free or less than it costs them. Reality is we may have to simply pay a lot more if we want that Grok goodness.
That's odd to me. I have SuperGrok with X Premium+. I use the crap out of Grok in my daily life, including to build a couple self-hosted apps as an amateur. I have a Grok bot monitor my email every 15 minutes and file things away for me. I have another bot that monitors for blood test results through Goodlabs. And I'm talking to it all the time on my 2 hour round-trip commute . . . and I never even get close to using my quota.
Opposite experience here. SuperGrok allowance is drained extremely fast. About 20-30 simple coding or code review prompts in grok build, and it’s over for the week. When using it via the Grok app, it can last longer, unless you need to edit photos. I didn’t bother to properly measure grok’s burn rate on the SuperGrok plans. It’s just not there yet.
