1.2B tokens before and after: user says Grok merged plan effectively got stingier
HandsomeHank_ · x · 2026-10-22
Replying to the "context churn" discussion, HandsomeHank shares a token audit around the Grok merged-plan switch: he used 1.2 billion tokens the week before the switch with plenty of quota left, and 1.2 billion tokens the first week after—yet ran out and had to ration. He believes the new plan effectively delivers less and will post a detailed comparison the next day.
He agrees context churn matters: never retiring bots and long chat histories inflate usage, so he's doing a big cleanup this week and wants official visibility into context size and control over compacting.
