News Updates to r/grok

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

We want r/grok to be a home for everything Grok: questions, bug reports, workflows, and work worth showing. This post covers the recent changes and is now the single place to discuss them.

What changed

The rules have been rewritten with a clear goal: keep this a professional space for knowledge work and coding. Adult and spicy content is no longer allowed here, tagged or not. Neither are jailbreaks or prompts written to get around Grok's filters. Reddit has plenty of other communities built for that.

Roleplay and companions

A lot of posts are asking why roleplay feels different. Two separate things happened:

  1. Companions were shut down. That was announced and there are no plans to bring them back.
  2. Roleplay was not removed as a feature, but the current models are optimized for knowledge work and coding, and the guardrails around what Grok will and won't produce are stricter than before. If roleplay behaves differently than it used to, that is expected, not a bug. Bug reports about it will be removed and pointed here.

This is the megathread

Feedback on these changes goes in the comments here.

Criticism can also be its own post. Write up what you were trying to do and where Grok fell short and it stays on the front page, harsh or not. Same goes for comparisons with other tools or a detailed complaint about the new guardrails.

Posts that are just "Grok is trash" and nothing more get removed and redirected here. We get dozens a day and they bury everything else.

Posting

Give your post a title that names the thing, a sentence of context, and a flair. If Grok let you down, tell us what you tried and what broke.

The full rules are in the sidebar and take a minute to read. Automod removes posts that break them, and we're cleaning out older ones too. If something of yours disappears, that's probably why. If you think we got it wrong, modmail us a link and we'll take another look.

Account and billing problems go to grok.com support.

The sub is co-moderated by SpaceXAI employees. Thanks for being part of this!

Discussion STAY on your OLD subscriptions!

63 Upvotes

If you're on SuperGrok, Plus, or Heavy and thinking about switching to the new X Subscription — don't. For most people it's a clear downgrade.

Here's what users are actually reporting:

  • Imagine / video: roughly half the usage compared to old subscriptions
  • Chat: same or a slightly worse
  • Bot: better, but mostly on higher plans, especially Ultra
  • Grok Code: better, but mostly on higher plans, especially Ultra
  • Combination of any above (except Bot/Code): WORSE!
  • Premium: worse than old SuperGrok in almost everything
  • Multi-agent / team of experts: gone on the new plans (only stays on legacy Heavy)
  • Outside the US: even more expensive than the already higher US list prices

The only real win is heavy Grok Bot/Code only users, and even that mainly applies to higher tiers. On Premium the Grok Bot/Code gains are smaller, and all tiers are worse in basically everything else.

Shared pool means Chat, Imagine, Bot and Code all eat from the same weekly bucket. The old separate grants were better for most real mixes. Third-party models in Cursor are also no longer included.

You can keep your current plan. Switching is permanent and cancels the old one immediately. If your old subscription still works for you, stay.

I wanted an easier way to talk to my Grok bot so I made this. I added functionality for the other bots and CLI agents too. I have been loving it so far, so I figured I would share it. Give it a try and let me know any suggestions or issues you have.

Question 🤬 SuperGrok Update Disaster: Lost Features, Reduced Video Limits, and No Subscription Support!

Thumbnail gallery
13 Upvotes

@xAI @grok @elonmusk

Look, I'm fed up with this situation. I go to every link and page you tell me to visit, and everywhere I go, I'm told that I can't access it or that subscriptions are not available in my region.

I have a SuperGrok subscription that I pay for out of my own pocket, but after the latest update, the app shows me as if I had X Premium. I've contacted support countless times, and all they do is send me links. I follow those links, and I keep running into the same bullshit. I'm going around in circles, and nobody is solving my problem!

The worst part is that I can't even verify what type of plan I currently have because subscription options are not available in my region. How am I supposed to check my subscription, manage my account, or confirm that I'm receiving the service I'm paying for when you yourselves prevent me from accessing that information?

And that's not all. Currently, my 720p video animations only allow me to generate clips of up to 10 seconds. I used to be able to create approximately 20 to 30 videos per week, but now I can only make around 10. On top of that, I no longer have the option to create 15-second animations.

First, I lost my chat history, image references, and animation scripts that I had accumulated over several months. Now I'm also dealing with problems involving video features, usage limits, and access to my subscription information.

WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO WITH THIS UPDATE?

I'm a paying SuperGrok customer, not someone using a free service. It is unacceptable that, after an update, I lose features, have trouble accessing my plan, and receive support responses that repeatedly send me to links that do absolutely nothing to solve my problem.

I want a concrete answer and a real solution. I need you to confirm which subscription I currently have, explain why my app shows X Premium when I'm paying for SuperGrok, and clarify the changes you've made to video generation, including the removal of the 15-second option and the reduction in my weekly video capacity.

I don't want any more links that lead me to the same dead end. I want someone to take responsibility for this problem and fix it.

Honestly, I'm about to cancel my account. I'm paying for a service that, after this update, is causing me more problems than it's solving. If this is how you're going to treat your paying customers, then I see no reason to keep paying.

Enough with the automated responses, enough with sending me from one link to another, and enough with making customers solve the problems you've created yourselves!

I NEED A REAL SOLUTION, NOT ANOTHER EXCUSE.

Discussion Is the new $30 Premium plan equivalent to the legacy $30 SuperGrok plan? (Imagine limits, 15s videos, data loss)

14 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm currently subscribed to the legacy $30/month SuperGrok plan, and I'm considering switching to the new $30 Premium plan eventually.

However, the new plan's Imagine limits and features are still unclear to me, so I'd really appreciate hearing from people who have actually switched from legacy SuperGrok to Premium.

I have a few specific questions:

1. 720p / 10-second video generation costs

On my legacy SuperGrok plan, generating a new video from a fresh prompt typically consumes around 2% of my weekly Imagine quota, while regenerating an existing video typically consumes around 1%.

Are these percentages the same on the new Premium plan? If not, how much does each type of generation consume?

2. 720p / 15-second videos

Is the 15-second video option still available on the new Premium plan? I currently have access to it on legacy SuperGrok, and I'd hate to lose that feature.

3. Data migration

Did you lose anything after switching plans? I'm particularly concerned about saved images, generated videos, tags, previous conversations, and other account data.

4. Overall experience

Have you noticed any differences in generation limits, available features, or restrictions compared to the old $30 SuperGrok subscription?

I'm planning to keep my legacy plan for now, but I'd like to know whether switching to Premium later would mean losing any features or data.

If you've already switched, please share your actual experience, especially your usage percentages before and after the migration.

Thanks in advance!

Discussion Warning: SuperGrok’s "Pay 1 month, get 2 free" offer is a billing trap, and xAI support doesn't understand timezones

Thumbnail gallery
7 Upvotes

Heads-up for anyone considering SuperGrok's retention offers.

The Offer: During my 3-day trial, I went to cancel and got a pop-up: "Pay for 1 month, get 2 months free." I claimed it on Sept 14 at 00:58 CEST (Poland) and sent a screenshot to friends.

The First Charge: 6 minutes after claiming the offer (Sept 14 at 01:04:49 CEST), my card was charged $30 (116.42 PLN). Since I had just accepted the promo, this was supposed to be my 1 paid month, making October and November free.

The Double Charge: On Oct 13, xAI charged me $30 again. When I asked support to refund the wrongful October charge, they canceled my subscription and forfeited my free months.

The Timezone Absurdity: A human agent (Jessie) claimed my first $30 charge went through on Sept 13, and that I claimed the promo the day after on Sept 14—pushing the promo to October.

Support Ignoring Proof: xAI is in California (PDT, UTC-7)and I’m in Poland (CEST, UTC+2)—a 9-hour difference:

  • 00:58 CEST (Sept 14) = 15:58 PDT (Sept 13) (Offer claimed)
  • 01:04 CEST (Sept 14)= 16:04 PDT (Sept 13) ($30 charged)

Support saw "Sept 14" on my Polish screenshot and "Sept 13" in their US logs and assumed I accepted the offer a day after paying. Even after I sent an official bank statement proving I claimed the offer 6 minutes before the payment, they copy-pasted the same response and refused to restore my free months.

TL;DR: Claimed a "Pay 1, get 2 free" offer during my trial and got charged $30 just 6 minutes later. In October, xAI charged me $30 again and won't honor the promo because support doesn't understand that 01:04 AM on Sept 14 in Europeis Sept 13 in the US.

Question 🤬 GROK’S LATEST UPDATE: LESS VIDEOS, HIGHER USAGE, SAME SUBSCRIPTION PRICE!

Thumbnail gallery
52 Upvotes

@Grok @xAI @elonmusk

What the hell did you do with the latest update?! 🤬 I used to be able to create MORE THAN 20 VIDEOS PER WEEK, and now I can only make around 10. What kind of update is this?!

Updates are supposed to BENEFIT USERS, NOT TAKE AWAY FEATURES AND REDUCE THEIR USAGE LIMITS. We're paying for a service, and we deserve to get MORE, not LESS!

USAGE ANALYSIS - GROK WEEKLY LIMIT

  1. USAGE CHANGES (PER 1 VIDEO, 10 SECONDS LONG):

    • Previous usage: 76% of total (Chat: 56% | Imagine: 20%)

    • Current usage: 86% of total (Chat: 57% | Imagine: 29%)

    * Increase in "Imagine": +9%

    * Overall usage increase: +10%

  2. USAGE CAPACITY CALCULATION (FROM 0% TO 100%):

    • Based on "Imagine" usage (9% per creation):

100% / 9% = 11.11 -> Approximately 11 creations.

• Based on the total usage increase (10% per creation):

100% / 10% = Exactly 10 creations.

CONCLUSION:

They now only let you create between 10 and 11 videos

per week because of this usage consumption! This is

absolutely outrageous considering how quickly the

usage limit gets depleted!

📉 My usage tracking shows that a single 10-second video now consumes approximately 9% of my Imagine usage, compared to the previous 20%.

I pay for SuperGrok, yet every update seems to give me LESS for my money. Why are you increasing usage consumption without providing a clear explanation?

@elonmusk, updates should improve the user experience, not make it worse. UPDATES ARE SUPPOSED TO BENEFIT USERS, NOT TAKE AWAY WHAT THEY ALREADY HAD!

You shouldn't reduce our video creation capacity without a transparent explanation. Those of us who pay for SuperGrok deserve transparency, respect, and a service that justifies its price.

We want solutions, transparency, and our previous video creation capacity restored! FIX THIS! 🤬

Question Has Grok Been Coding Terribly for Anyone?

3 Upvotes

This just started happening to me today, it was working fine earlier in the week. I've gone through multiple chats in different projects and keep running into the same issues. It keeps pushing truncated files to git, constantly in fact, after I specifically tell it not to truncate anything. This has happened over 10 times just today. In other instances,, it won't fix a simple change I ask it to do, it has been 6 times and the same error has been incapable of being fixed when working with a simple html application. This has never happened to me at this level before, it operates substantially worse than I have ever noticed before and it has been incredibly frustrating all day today.

This sub seems like it’s always in an existential meltdown whenever a major version or change drops but I know Reddit in general is like that. But this place is just flooded with doomer posts and endless complaints.

Does anyone here actually enjoy using Grok as an alternative over ChatGPT/Claude?

If Grok really was like before Nov 2025, mega 🖐 would be.

Since the problem with the Csam/Deepfake/NonCon was finally brought under control, Therefore, if it were to be so, Grok would say the following as in the clip.

Discussion Role play advise

• Upvotes

Hey guys I’m an ai engineer I saw many posts on missing spicy, creative grok. There is one way you can do it is by self hosting an system, it often called as ai harness. The best option you have is silly tavern + open router. You can set grok 4.2 and you can go all spicy with it inside silly tavern. For writers I think open web ui gives you the traditional ai chat window and sessions and everything, but it’s complex to setup can take days.

They might close the 4.2 api in future but it’s here today and it’s working great.

My setup costs around 10£ for my own VPS and 20£ tokens for a month of lightweight roleplay.

So yeah 30£ per month and bit of setting up yourself you can have it back.

Help Title: Grok has been stuck thinking/searching for weeks and fails to answer — is anyone else experiencing this? Hi everyone, I've been experiencing persistent issues with Grok for the past 2–3 weeks, and I'm wondering if anyone else is dealing with the same problems.

1 Upvotes

​

  1. Grok gets stuck searching and never finishes its response.

When I ask Grok to research something, it starts searching the web, browsing pages, and thinking for several minutes, but it never actually answers my question. Sometimes it spends 6–10 minutes processing and then fails to complete the response.

This happens even when I start a completely new chat. For example, I asked it to research the story of the Battle Royale novel, and it kept searching without providing an answer.

  1. Grok loses context and gives incorrect information in older chats.

In older conversations, especially when I'm continuing stories I've been working on for a long time, Grok starts losing track of the established context. It mixes up events, gives incorrect information, and sometimes insists that its incorrect version is right even after I correct it.

  1. The issue affects multiple versions of Grok.

I've experienced these problems in the Grok Android app and on the Grok website. The Grok integration on X was working properly for me for a while, but recently it started exhibiting similar problems.

I've already tried almost every troubleshooting step I can think of:

- Reinstalling the app multiple times.

- Clearing the cache.

- Restarting my phone.

- Switching between different accounts.

- Using a VPN to check whether the problem was related to my IP address.

- Testing Grok through different interfaces.

- Sending shorter prompts instead of long messages, as support suggested.

None of these steps solved the issue.

I contacted xAI support, followed their suggestions, and was eventually told that my case would be forwarded to the relevant team for further investigation. However, I haven't received a follow-up or a solution.

I've also noticed other users reporting similar problems recently, including posts around October 10.

So I'd like to ask:

- Is anyone else experiencing endless thinking or web searches that never produce an answer?

- Does Grok also lose context in your older conversations?

- Did these problems start recently?

- Has anyone found a solution, or received any useful information from xAI support?

I'm not looking for basic troubleshooting suggestions like reinstalling the app or clearing the cache, since I've already tried those repeatedly. I would really appreciate hearing from people experiencing the same issues, especially if you've found evidence of a broader problem.

Thanks!

Grok Bot Can Grok Bot control an app on my iPhone? Any alternatives?

I’d like an AI agent to operate an app that’s available solely on the iPhone, with no web version. It would need to navigate the app, tap buttons, and complete tasks for me.

Can Grok Bot do this? If not, is there any other AI tool or automation workaround that could?

They added Grok Bot to the web. Now you can make multiple Grok Bots on the web version and have them work as Agents. You can even delegate tasks to specific bots, and have them work together to write a scene. This makes better chapters than normal projects.
