Give your main bot your usage file. It shows which bots and jobs use the most, and what to cut so your allowance lasts all week.

What it does by itselfIt only reads the file and gives advice. You decide what to stop or delete.

How it works

Grok Bot plans come with a weekly amount of use, called an allowance. One user shares a quick way to use less. Go to Usage in the Grok dashboard and download the usage file. It is a CSV file, which is a simple table. Send it to your main bot and ask it to study how your bots work and how to use less. He says this saves at least 10 to 15% each week. A second user has a bot that checks all his bots every morning. It marks each bot green, yellow, or red. It found 3 empty or copied bots. It also found one bot that used a lot because it made images and videos. He deleted the empty bots himself.

How to set it up

  1. Open the Grok dashboard and go to Usage.
  2. Download the usage file.
  3. Send it to your main bot.
  4. Ask: Study this usage file and tell me how to use less.
  5. Decide yourself which bots or jobs to stop.
Words from the source you can copy

What people report

One user says he uses 10 to 15% less each week. Another says his daily use fell from 25% to about 7.5% of his weekly allowance (both are their own reports).

Why we rate it 7 out of 10

It takes 10 minutes and helps anyone who runs out of allowance. The savings numbers are what users say, not numbers we checked.
