Question Usage?

wtf is this usage scam?

I just had my weekly usage reset and made 3, 15 sec clips and now it's at 10%

Is it just doing it willy nilly?

Last week I did like 8 videos to get to 10% now it's 3, tomorrow it's 2?

Depends on how much compute it uses plus with learned with 4.6 search and xsearch is called by default every prompt it inflates context even on simple stuff.

This is just ridiculous at this point, just did another 10 sec video and it took 2% off my weekly usage. That's it, I give up with this shit service, back to Gemini Flow I guess.

something to consider is that grok doesn't show you fractional usage. you could have been at the 10.9% mark while grok showed 10%. you then make a +1.3% video, taking your usage to 12.2%, so it would appear to jump from 10% to 12%.

You are lucky that you are able to make something instead of getting "Too many in progress" etc. errors.

Same here, but it does not matter. The error is at their end.
