Developer r0ck3t23 shared an xAI usage dashboard showing roughly 967 million tokens consumed in a single day (Oct 29) — 964.9M via Grok Bot, 2.1M via Grok Chat, and 60K via Grok Imagine.
- His usual daily usage hovers around 100M tokens; the spike is nearly 10x that.
- He attributes it to 30 parallel agents running automated workloads, joking that someone should "check on the GPUs."
