Pays for this
Cursor plan usage
For your own work in Cursor and for Cloud Agents. It isn't a Grok Bot meter.
No meter pays: your Bots stop until weekly usage resets.
Tap a kind of work to light up its meter.
Here are all eight kinds of work, each with the meter it's counted on.
A Bot replies to your message
Every Bot reply spends Grok Bot usage, a one-line answer included. What a reply costs follows the work behind it, not the length of your message.
A routine runs
Each run spends Grok Bot usage, whether or not you're there to read the result. A paused routine spends nothing.
A Bot works in its browser or on its computer
Browsing, clicking, running commands, calling a plugin and starting its own helper agents are all the Bot's own work. All of it spends Grok Bot usage.
Bots reply in a group chat, or message each other
Each Bot's reply in a group counts, and so does every message one Bot sends another. Four Bots answering is four replies.
A Bot hands coding to a Cursor Cloud Agent
The Bot's own turn spends Grok Bot usage, like any reply. The Cloud Agent's work bills to your Cursor plan, the same as a Cloud Agent you start yourself. It's the only Bot work that reaches your Cursor plan.
You work in Cursor yourself
Your own work in Cursor is counted on your Cursor plan. It never touches Grok Bot's weekly usage, and a busy Bot doesn't use up your Cursor plan's included usage.
You chat in the Grok app
Grok is a different app with a limit of its own. A limit you hit there isn't a Grok Bot limit, and Grok Bot usage never shows in the Grok app, even when SuperGrok is how you got in.
Nothing is running
An old chat left idle spends nothing, however long it is: a chat costs usage only when a new message goes into it. A paused routine spends nothing. Suggestions your Main Bot offers on its own are free too.
How your week changes it
- Usage left: a Bot's work comes out of Weekly usage.
- Used up, on-demand on: a Bot's work carries on as On-demand usage. It's billed through Cursor and counts toward your On-demand monthly limit.
- Used up, on-demand off: your Bots stop until weekly usage resets. Nothing is billed.
- Your Grok Bot week doesn't change this one.
