Grok Bot

Describe the Bug

My shared Grok Bot computer has been full and completely unresponsive since November 6, 2026.

  • Disk is full.
  • All bots are unusable.
  • Even simple shell commands (df -h, echo ok) hang and never complete.
  • Update is blocked or fails.
  • Reset fails or gets stuck.
  • No “Recover” option is available on the iPhone app (only Reset is shown under Settings → Bot → Bot Computer).
  • Emails to [email protected] receive only automated replies, no human response.

This matches other reported cases of full disk / inode exhaustion making the computer unresponsive and preventing Reset/Update from completing.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Use Grok Bot normally until the shared computer disk becomes full (many 3D modeling bots with git repos, STL/3MF files, renders, etc.).
  2. Once the disk is full, try any bot action that requires the computer (shell command, file read, etc.).
  3. Commands hang indefinitely.
  4. Go to Settings → Bot Computer on iPhone: Update is unavailable/fails, Reset fails or sticks, no Recover option appears.
  5. Email [email protected] → only automated replies.

Expected Behavior

The computer should remain usable, or at least offer a working Recover / Update option (or be restored from the backend by the team) so bots can resume work. A full disk should not make the entire shared computer permanently unreachable.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Update:
Computer keeps cycling: “waking up” → offline → unreachable.
File copy procedure cannot complete because the computer never stays reachable.

@Colin Can you help me ?

Hi @Felicien_DROUET, your computer is back up. We moved it onto a new computer with a larger disk (this is a temporary measure), and all of your saved files were copied over.

It goes to sleep when nothing is using it, so when you first open Grok Bot it may show “waking up” for a little while before it connects. If it stays offline or unreachable, fully close and reopen Grok Bot on your phone and desktop, then ask one of your bots to run a simple command like df -h. Let me know here whether it answers.

The larger disk gives you room for now, but your files had grown to about 128 GB, which is too much for a standard-size computer. The team is working on improving the experience, but for now it’s important to keep your disk utilizaiton under the limit.

Thank you so much @Colin !!!

It would be useful to have expandable disk space, along with an alert prompting us to free up disk space, rather than having the server crash.
