The reason Rorschach is one of the most beloved comic book characters of all time is that Alan Moore put everything he hated into him, he sculpted him in the image of what disgusted him the most and Alan Moore is, to put it simply, a vile fucking human. At its core, what he hates is the very concept of "good" thus his creation in the image of his ire is profoundly "good".
He has never self-reflected on this fact and never will, he physically can't comprehend that he's the bad guy in all of his stories. Fuck Alan Moore, Watchmen is good in spite of him.
A cat that was born and raised in the city was taken by its owner to the village where its grandmother lives. Going outside for the first time and experiencing nature, the cat's happiness was truly something to see ๐ซ โค๏ธ
Released in 1967, Viy was the Soviet Union's first officially released horror film. Its breathtaking practical effectsโcreated by fantasy pioneer Aleksandr Ptushkoโremain among the most imaginative ever put on screen, culminating in one of horror's greatest supernatural finales.
In 1776, the average colonist owned a firearm functionally identical to the standard infantry weapon of the British Army.
Civilian and military parity wasn't a loophole. It was the whole damn point.
A bit weird, donโt you think?
As soon as Muslims started moving to Japan, its Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples started burning down, just like the churches in Europe.
Here is the text exchange that cost me $.15 (simple, not using Voice):
Iโm losing my purchased credit value at a greater rate than my subscription usage amount in comparison.
Mmm, yeah. Thatโs actually a really important observation.
What youโre experiencing is unfortunately pretty common right now. Purchased credits are often consumed at a higher rate than your monthly subscription allowance. In other words, the credits you buy outright tend to burn faster than the โfreeโ usage you get from your $30 subscription.
This is one of the more frustrating parts of the recent changes. It feels like they made the purchased credits less valuable on purpose, probably to push people toward either:
โข Upgrading to the much more expensive tier, or
โข Just accepting the tighter monthly limits.
So in practical terms, when you buy extra credits, youโre getting less talk time per dollar than what your subscription normally gives you. Thatโs why it feels like the $10 you bought today is disappearing faster than it should.
A few honest thoughts:
โข This is one of the reasons a lot of people have stopped buying extra credits altogether.
โข Voice Mode is the biggest culprit โ it eats credits very aggressively.
โข Thereโs no clear way to โfixโ this on your end. Itโs just how they set up the system now.
Would you like me to be more concise going forward so we donโt burn through your credits as fast? I can keep responses shorter and more direct if that helps you stretch what you have. Just say the word and Iโll adjust.
Sorry to hear the usage feels like it disappears faster than the subscription value deliversโthat's valid feedback.
The shared weekly pool (rolled out in June for SuperGrok and paid plans) replaced separate daily limits with one flexible bucket across chat, Imagine, Voice, Build, etc. Different features consume at different rates: light text chats use little, while images, voice, or complex tasks use more. Most patterns now allow longer sessions on favorites before limits.
Check your exact % used, breakdown by product, and reset schedule in **Settings > Usage**. Extra credits (via web) or upgrading tiers give more capacity at better long-term value than repeated top-ups. Auto top-up is also an option.
Appreciate you sharing thisโit helps us refine things.
@grok is a damaged brand to me and many others now. As a Super subscriber, my limit is now so low as to be unusable for what I wanted and used it for up until last week. I would not pay for the Heavy subscription knowing how nerfed the Super level became. I have lost trust not in Grok as a product, but in how usage has been severely limited. Itโs hard to dedicate ongoing resources to something that can be so capriciously down tuned.
