Hi @Gideon_H_Guna_e Thank you for the post, and sorry for the inconvenience. We’ve confirmed that your account is active and this is not caused by your VPN or sign-in.

Your Grok Bot computer is in a recovery state that needs attention from our side, and we’re looking into it now. Please don’t use Recover or Reset again in the meantime, since another attempt will not help.

Your bots, files, and chats remain stored. I’ll post here when I have an update.

Unfortunately… unresolved …

If you need to you can reset my account and I can rebuild from scratch… Thanks
