Track Grok Bot Usage from Your Mac Menu Bar
Keep Grok Bot's weekly request allowance and monthly cap visible while you code — as a standalone provider and as the Grok Bot Plan surfaced under Cursor.
How Grok Bot usage limits work
- Grok Bot plans meter a weekly request pool that resets on a rolling window, plus a separate monthly request cap.
- The Grok Bot Plan inside Cursor is tracked separately from Cursor Models and the Other Models pool.
- Agent runs across many files and tool calls draw the allowance faster than short chat prompts.
What AIUsageBar shows you
- Weekly request pool remaining and percent used
- Monthly cap and reset timing
- Pace indicator: projected run-out time
- Grok Bot Plan surfaced beside Cursor's other pools
What Is the Grok Bot Plan?
Grok Bot is xAI's Grok-powered coding agent. AIUsageBar tracks it two ways: as a standalone provider for people who run Grok Bot directly, and as a plan inside Cursor, where a "Grok Bot Plan" appears with its own weekly request allowance and monthly cap alongside Cursor's other usage pools.
The provider dashboard on xAI and Cursor stays the source of truth for exact allowances and billing. The menu bar view is the operational layer for noticing pace before a long agent session reaches the limit.
How Grok Bot Usage Is Metered
- Weekly request pool: Grok Bot plans commonly meter a fixed number of requests that resets on a rolling weekly window.
- Monthly cap: a separate monthly request ceiling applies on top of the weekly pool.
- Agent-heavy consumption: multi-file agent runs and tool calls draw the pool faster than short chat prompts.
See the xAI documentation and Cursor's dashboard for the current values attached to your account.
Grok Bot Inside Cursor
When Grok Bot runs as a Cursor plan, its weekly request count and monthly cap sit next to Cursor Models and the Other Models pool. AIUsageBar surfaces the Grok Bot Plan tab so you can see weekly percent remaining, the projected run-out time at your current pace, and the monthly reset without opening Cursor's settings.
See the Cursor usage tracker page for how the other Cursor pools work.
How AIUsageBar Tracks Grok Bot
AIUsageBar keeps supported Grok Bot weekly and monthly usage, the reset timing, and consumption pace in the Mac menu bar—both for the standalone provider and for the Grok Bot Plan surfaced under Cursor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Grok Bot the same as the xAI Grok API?
No. Grok Bot is the coding-agent plan. Raw token-metered API access is tracked separately on the Grok page.
Does the Grok Bot Plan count against Cursor's other pools?
No. The Grok Bot Plan uses its own weekly request allowance and monthly cap, separate from Cursor Models and Other Models.
When does Grok Bot usage reset?
The weekly pool resets on a rolling window; the monthly cap resets with the billing cycle. Check the value shown in AIUsageBar or your provider dashboard.
