Two more weeks of data, and it’s getting worse.
Before ($20 Cursor plan): 399M tokens/week (167M Cursor + 232M Grok Bot)
After ($30 Unified X plan):
-
Week 1: 383M (231M Cursor + 152M Grok Bot)
-
Week 2: 376.4M (370.5M Cursor + 5.9M Grok Bot)
-
Week 3: 284.7M (276.5M Cursor + 8.2M Grok Bot)
-
Week 4: 274.3M (167.2M Cursor + 107.1M Grok Bot)
Tokens per dollar of subscription cost:
-
Before unification: 86.6M
-
Weeks 1–2: 55M
-
Weeks 3–4: 40.35M
That’s a 53.4% drop from before unification.
To be clear, this is napkin math, not a rigorous comparison. But Grok 4.6 and 4.7 have the same published API token pricing, so model cost per token shouldn’t be a variable. The input/output and caching mix will vary, but aggregate usage stays remarkably consistent within each two-week stretch despite substantial changes in the Cursor/Grok Bot split. I think total tokens are therefore a reasonable way to compare and to see directional changes.
Honestly, it keeps getting worse. The weekly quota now runs out in 1 to 1.5 days. I can’t finish even one large PR within my weekly quota now, and the plan is now 50% more expensive.
