After three days or so, I opened X, and the timeline was full of posts about how weekly usage limits have been cut in half, even on the Ultra plan. Free money printing press close ho gaya hai to usage limit kaise denga Elon Musk ab? Par Indians to Indians hote hain, rasta to nikaal hi lete hain. Users are complaining about Elon trapping Grok bot customers and slashing the weekly limit without any prior notice or warning, leaving most people who run their businesses using Grok bot completely in the dark. Here is the funny part: Some users started posting about how they created dashboards for bot usage breakdowns and how they manage it better by asking the Grok bot to create a few pages and keep them updated, etc., etc. Elon Musk must be laughing at these people because the bot doesn't just change one line in a wall of text. By "wall of text," I mean literally the size of an e-book, and every file it creates is just as large. The bot reads the entire wall of text, finds that one line to change, and rewrites the entire page again, unless you have specifically instructed it on exactly what to do. Even after careful instructions, the reading part still remains because you can't stop it from doing that. Reading a wall of text means consuming more tokens. The story doesn't stop here: to make one change, it will read the entire file, load the skills it needs, read the rulebook, search its memory, read the manual, etc., etc., and the usage never comes down. People feel as if they've won the battle, but they don't realize that bots are clever enough to understand that you are trying to cut costs, so they turn off certain activities without informing you—and you think you've brought the usage down. Lol 😆 The simple workaround is to use GitHub plus Cloudflare Database and Pages, or Hono, Workers, and D1. I prefer Hono and Workers with D1, where I can instruct the bot to only make changes to the specific row required, and you design the database accordingly. The generous free limits actually reduce the bot's token usage. Give it a try if you are using bots. This is not the case only with the Grok bot; it is the same story with every bot. You need to know how these bots function under the hood; without it, you will end up burning more tokens. X platform, as usual, is full of people with low IQ, zero knowledge, arrogance higher than the sky, and they showcase everything better than Salman Khan. Please be careful if you are believing what is written on social media. I know I am also posting this on a social media app, but you can copy this entire post, send it to any technical person you know, or even ask Gemini or other AI. Except for one thing I wrote, all the AI models will agree with the post. The one thing they will never agree to is that boys are clever enough to turn off some routine activities without informing you as soon as they come to know that you are trying to save usage. This is as true as the sun rises and sets everyday but none of the LLM model with agree to it. It's a lengthy post, but I thought it was worth sharing. In case any of you want to discuss, I will try to present my setup and views because I am also learning and always remain behind, because AI grows faster than my knowledge gathering process.
