Hey @Mohamed_Aziz_Karoui  
Grok Bot doesn’t eat into your Cursor usage. On Teams, each seat has its own separate weekly Grok Bot allowance, and Grok Bot activity is metered against that, not the Cursor Models / Other Models pools on the Spending page (you can see the Grok Bot meter inside the Grok Bot app).

The reason `grok-bot-default` / `grok-bot-cua` show up in those lists is a display issue we’re tracking - that breakdown doesn’t filter Grok Bot out yet. Your headline percentages (2.0% and 3.9%) are correct and reflect only your Cursor usage.

I’ll follow up here once the fix ships.

[Is the Grok Bot quota calculation reasonable? - #16 by z\_l](https://forum.cursor.com/t/is-the-grok-bot-quota-calculation-reasonable/170771/16) @mohitjain I suggest you take a look at my screenshot and then check my account again. That should help identify the problem. This is definitely not as simple as you described. I have been monitoring the consumption and it is true that it has used up the cursor quota.

You gotta admit this is wildly confusing also I really really doubt I have used 2% of my usage with 4.2m tokens on medium and 1.7m tokens on low that just looks wrong

also other models on 3.9% when i havent used any other model today other than one prompt for medium and one prompt for low

I wanted to check this on first day of reset to be absolutely sure and this just looks either wrong on the UI or worse it’s actually eating at my Cursor Team Plan and in that case Cursor should be explicit about it and I would stop using Grok Bot all together

Hey @Mohamed_Aziz_Karoui,

Following up as promised. The change that removes the Grok Bot rows (grok-bot-default / grok-bot-cua) from the Cursor Models and Other Models breakdowns has been addressed on our side. The per-model list under each bar should only show your Cursor usage.

To be clear on the underlying question: Grok Bot activity on your Teams seat is metered against its own separate weekly Grok Bot allowance, not the Cursor Models / Other Models pools. The headline percentages on the Spending page were already Cursor-only; the row breakdown underneath was the one mixing things up.

Could you take another look at the Included Usage panel in a little while and let me know whether the Grok Bot rows still show up or the numbers still don’t line up with what you’d expect?

grok-bot-default  
Grok-bot-cua  
Errors caused my model usage quota to be exhausted quickly; please compensate me with more usage.

Grok Bot doesn’t eat into your Cursor usage. On Pro, Pro+, and Teams you get a separate weekly Grok Bot allowance, and everything the bot does is metered against that, not your Cursor Models / Other Models pools. (Only exception: if you have Grok Bot launch a Cursor cloud agent, that agent runs on your Cursor plan.)

Those `grok-bot-default` / `grok-bot-cua` rows appearing inside the Cursor bars was a display issue, now fixed and rolled out, so the per-model breakdown should show only your Cursor usage. The headline percentages were Cursor-only all along. Could you re-check the Included Usage panel and let me know if any Grok Bot rows still show up?

@1107590384_peter, I’d rather look at the used-up usage on your account than on a public thread. Email [hi@cursor.com](mailto:hi@cursor.com) from your account address with what happened and any session details, and we’ll take it from there. @z_l, same if you still see the two move together after the fix.

Thanks, that’s great.

A question however, for the new pricing for Ultra, does grok still use its own weekly allowance and not eat cursor usage?

Good question. It works a bit differently on the new plans than on the legacy ones this thread was originally about.

On The X Subscription (including the new Ultra), there isn’t a separate Grok Bot allowance. Premium, Super, and Ultra each come with one shared weekly usage pool, and Grok Bot draws from that same pool as your Cursor and Grok usage (Super and Ultra get larger pools). So on the new Ultra, Grok Bot and Cursor share a single weekly pool rather than being metered separately.

Third-party models like Claude or GPT aren’t part of that included pool, so those are billed from prepaid top-up credit from first use.

Full details: [Grok Bot plans & billing](https://cursor.com/help/grok-bot/plans) and [X Subscription pricing](https://docs.x.ai/x-subscription/pricing).

Worth noting: on legacy Cursor plans (Ultra, Pro+, Pro), Grok Bot still has its own weekly meter. The shared-pool model is specific to The X Subscription.
