Bot weekly quota gets tight fast when you burn it on long, heavy sessions inside the Bot chat.
A better pattern: put Grok Build on Grok Bot’s cloud computer, and let the Bot schedule Build for the hard jobs.
Coding, repo edits, tests, PRs, and deploys are obvious Build work.
It isn’t only coding. Batch file work, long-running tasks, and anything that can finish in a Build CLI session should prefer Build too.
Keep Bot for coordination: logins and connectors, handoffs between bots, routines, and jobs that should keep going when your laptop is closed.
Bot gives the instruction and watches progress. The heavy session runs on the cloud box Build path (for example /home/box/.grok/bin/grok), not as a full grind inside the Bot chat.
Separate the pools. Bot weekly allowance is not the same as Cursor editor included usage. On-demand spend usually shares Cursor’s Monthly Limit — it does not magically double Bot weekly.
Higher plans usually mean “take the better entitlement,” not “stack two subscriptions into twice the Bot weekly.”
Don’t stomp the same repo. Don’t pile too many heavy jobs at once — queue when it’s busy.
If you still need more Bot time, raise the higher entitlement or use on-demand with a Monthly Limit. Don’t expect two subscriptions to double Bot weekly.
One line: Bot schedules and collaborates. Heavy and long work goes to Grok Build on the cloud computer.
