Grok Heavy usage accounting questioned for hidden subagent costs
Daniel_Farinax · x · 2026-09-02
A user flagged transparency issues with Grok Heavy's billing. A 5-hour loop showed $32.81 in costs, but spawned 45 untracked subagent sessions costing an additional $110, totaling $143. The discrepancy suggests quota points aren't fixed dollar values and cached tokens are counted differently. The user requested detailed per-session billing including subagents, similar to Cursor's interface.
