Users of the Grok Bot AI assistant have encountered tighter restrictions on their daily prompt allowance, with some reporting that their usage meters hit 100% without warning or were depleted more quickly than in previous cycles. Elon Musk said the decrease in availability was necessary because the expenses of maintaining the chatbot grew too high compared to the income it earns.

Musk described the operational costs of providing the service as "unsustainably high" relative to its revenue, confirming that the financial burden forced the adjusted usage caps. The statement follows complaints from users who found they were hitting their access limits more frequently during the current cycle.
