Blogger HandsomeHank shares week-2 usage tests of the merged X + Grok + Cursor subscription:
- Grok Build (CLI) on 4.7 High used 3% of the weekly quota in 61 minutes, up from 2%/hour the week before
- Two Cursor cloud agents on 4.6 Medium (18 and 8 minutes) together used 2%—about 4.6%/hour, higher than expected and now his baseline
- His usage dashboard shows Grok Bot as the biggest eater at 9% of total quota, with Build at 3% and Cursor at 2%
- He plans to trim bot skills and clean up long chat histories to cut usage, and will keep testing whether rates have genuinely increased
