.@elonmusk is intentionally or unintentionally moving the goal posts with @spacexai and @grok. As a small business, it's frustrating, and starting to impact how we work. The other difficulty is that there isn't anyone at x.ai who is responsive to any inquiry about usage limits, and models. Grok has been getting increasingly more expensive, and additionally, ineffective for us as a business to complete tasks, as we previously were. I have an example. Back in February, I used @SuperGrok to create a spam filter and email categorizer for me that ran against a gmail account. This gmail account isn't an "active" gmail account, I use it to sign up for things or for web purchases and receipts. It's a throwaway. It has pretty consistent spam, receipts, and usage patterns. With this api call, I haven't made any changes to it since February. It has been running the same app, the same API calls, the API has been absolutely untouched, and usage has been the same. Attached are 3 screenshots. One of them shows the graph over time since the app was installed and goes through until today. Exact dates are February 24, to September 25th. In early March, there was a usage spike, due to some change with X / SuperGrok / Grok. Then sometime around the middle of May, 2026, spend and token usage went through the roof. Keep in mind, this is an extremely consistent environment, with static code in the backend making the same API calls over time. Another screenshot shows a one week snapshot in March. Dates between March 4 and March 11, 2026. A total of 209 requests were made, using 201,974 tokens, with a cost of $0.05. The third screenshot shows another week snapshot in time, but between July 19, and July 26, 2026. A total of 192 requests were made, using 191,481 tokens, with a cost of $0.25. For my usecase, the task is the same. The results are the same. The volume is the same. The code base on my end is the same. The API calls are the same. But the cost is 5 times where this app started. Now, we've been a commercial account, with multiple Supergrok Licenses, and a single Supergrok Heavy license. Our invest has been substantial for our small business. Starting 2-3 weeks ago, our grok chat is unusable. We are getting rate limited within a week. We don't do image/video generation. We're a small manufacturing company that uses an LLM the way it ought to be used. We need transparency on why/how these changes are being made to our accounts. When we purchased an annual subscription, we purchased a product that worked for us when we bought it. We allocated funds to get this product for a year. But now, we're not getting what we paid for. We're getting limited in under a week. We get told to wait for a weekly reset for the token limit to be lifted. But then when we waited for a reset yesterday, we try a prompt after the reset, only to get a response back that we have to wait for our reset on October 1. So a full week where we can't use our Supergrok and Supergok Heavy licenses for business. Unless we buy even more tokens, that just get burned up again in no time. It never used to be this way. We'd have chats that were thousands of prompts long. We can't do that today. This is unacceptable. I don't know what changed, but things have, and it's hurting small businesses. Maybe it's intentional, maybe it's a bug, but whatever it is, it's not good.

We had our weekly @grok reset today at 2:02pm. Just went to use Grok chat

Hey @elonmusk, changes to grok have slowed our small manufacturing business to a crawl regarding innovation. We only use grok.com and chat. @grok usage limits have kneecapped our work. Grok recommends switching to @chatgpt to return to our normal usage patterns.

Woke scolding AC use, and forcing 1st worlders to sweat their butts off is unpersuasive. What do you think @JoshuaLisec ?
