I upgraded from Pro to the new Premium plan today. Shortly after, I used Grok Bot for one short, casual conversation while making breakfast:

- one web lookup for a reasonable price on a product
- a brief chat about two stocks

That was all. No coding, no agents, no long context. When I checked afterwards, **7% of my weekly included usage was already used** (resets Oct 21).

At this rate, a few light chats would use up a whole week’s quota. That doesn’t match how the plan was presented, and it feels nothing like the value I had on Pro.

Questions:

1. How is Grok Bot usage counted against the weekly included quota? Do web searches or hidden context cost extra?
2. Is there a per-request breakdown so I can see what actually used the 7%?
3. Could this be connected to the Grok Bot service degradation incident that is active right now? If so, will incorrectly counted usage be refunded?

Screenshot of the usage meter:
