What Changed

The Usage page's Limits section now shows the Grok provider's weekly plan usage next to Claude and Codex, following the existing claudeAgent / codex usage-limits pattern.

  • apps/server/src/provider/Layers/grokUsageLimits.ts (new): reads the bearer token from ~/.grok/auth.json at request time, calls GET https://cli-chat-proxy.grok.com/v1/billing?format=credits, and maps the response to the existing usage-limits snapshot. Missing or ambiguous token -> unsupported, never an error. The token is not cached, persisted or logged.
  • GrokProvider.ts / GrokDriver.ts: refreshProviders attaches the weekly window as probe.usageLimits via checkGrokProviderStatus.
  • GrokAdapter.ts: emits account.rate-limits.updated after startSession so ingestion updates live, since Grok has no Codex-style rate-limit notification.
  • apps/web/src/components/usage/UsageLimits.tsx: adds the grok key to the provider colour map.
  • Tests: grokUsageLimits.test.ts (new) and GrokAdapter.test.ts; 76/76 passing across the three Grok test files, tsc --noEmit clean in apps/server and apps/web.

One proto3 detail worth knowing: the billing endpoint omits zero-valued fields, so a present currentPeriod with no creditUsagePercent is 0 %, not missing data. A missing period is unsupported.

Why

Grok is already a first-class provider in T3 Code, but its plan usage is invisible on the Usage page, so someone running Claude, Codex and Grok side by side cannot see when the Grok pool is close to its weekly reset without leaving the app. This fills the gap using the same data the grok CLI itself reads, with no new dependencies and no new settings.

UI Changes

Before / after of the Limits section on the Usage page, from a source build (vp run dev) with live Claude, Codex and Grok accounts. The Grok row uses the existing row component and the existing Grok colour token; Codex and Claude rows are unchanged (countdowns differ only because the screenshots were taken a few minutes apart).

Every new Grok session can be delayed by up to 15 seconds before returning because startSession awaits the optional publishGrokUsageLimits telemetry request.

startSession awaits publishGrokUsageLimits on its critical path instead of running the optional telemetry fetch in the background.

Walkthrough

The change adds Grok weekly usage-limit retrieval from local authentication and the billing API. It integrates limits into provider status and session events, adds server tests, and assigns Grok usage bars a dedicated color.

Changes

Grok usage limits

Layer / File(s) Summary
Billing response parsing and retrieval
apps/server/src/provider/Layers/grokUsageLimits.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Layers/grokUsageLimits.test.ts
The new module reads a single token from .grok/auth.json, requests billing data, maps weekly usage, and handles unsupported or failed probes. Tests cover parsing, headers, authentication cases, malformed responses, and HTTP errors.
Session usage-limit publication
apps/server/src/provider/Layers/GrokAdapter.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Layers/GrokAdapter.test.ts
The adapter accepts an optional usage-limit callback and publishes non-empty limits through account.rate-limits.updated after session startup events.
Provider status and driver wiring
apps/server/src/provider/Layers/GrokProvider.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/GrokDriver.ts
Provider status probes limits for cached-token authentication and reports unsupported limits for API-key authentication. The driver supplies the shared billing probe with the resolved home directory.
Grok usage display
apps/web/src/components/usage/UsageLimits.tsx
The grok driver now uses the Grok usage-bar color.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7524e

Slow Grok billing requests can delay session startup and provider status, while some configured Windows or GROK_HOME accounts will show no usage and malformed billing data can appear as unused capacity. These issues should be addressed before merging.

Grok CLI GROK_HOME USERPROFILE .grok auth.json Windows documentation

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
In the Grok CLI, authentication tokens and configuration are stored by default in a directory determined by the user&#39;s home path [1][2]. On Windows, the default location is %USERPROFILE%.grok\ [1][3]. The environment variable GROK_HOME can be used to override this default location [1][2]. If GROK_HOME is set, the CLI uses $GROK_HOME\auth.json (or the specified path) for credentials instead of the default location in the user profile [2][4]. Key details regarding this setup include: - auth.json: This file stores your active session tokens (obtained via grok login) [5][6]. The CLI automatically reads from and updates this file as tokens refresh [5][6]. - Path Resolution: When GROK_HOME is unset, the CLI defaults to ~.grok\ (which resolves to %USERPROFILE%.grok\ on Windows) [1][3]. - Precedence: Setting the GROK_HOME environment variable effectively relocates the entire configuration tree, including auth.json, config.toml, sessions, and logs [2][3]. - Security: Because auth.json contains sensitive credentials, it is recommended to keep the directory private [5]. The CLI and related tools expect the file to be readable and writable by the current user [5][7].

<title>Result 1</title> https://docs.x.ai/build/settings # Settings Grok Build offers a variety of configurations to suit your needs, many of which are made directly available in the TUI under `/settings`. Settings are persisted under `~/.grok/config.toml` (on Windows, `%USERPROFILE%\.grok\config.toml`). To configure the default home directory, you can set `$GROK_HOME`. For MCP servers, see MCP Servers. For marketplaces, skills, and plugins, see Skills, Plugins, and Marketplaces; for hooks, see Hooks. ## Scopes | Scope | Path | Use for | | --- | --- | --- | | Environment | `GROK_*` (and related) variables | Session / CI overrides | | User | `~/.grok/config.toml` (or `$GROK_HOME/config.toml`) | Personal defaults | | Project | `.grok/config.toml` in the repo | Repo-shared MCP, plugins, and permission rules | | Managed | `~/.grok/managed_config.toml`, `/etc/grok/managed_config.toml` | Enterprise-served defaults | | Requirements | `~/.grok/requirements.toml`, `/etc/grok/requirements.toml` | Policy pins | Project configs are limited to MCP servers, plugins, and permission rules, not full user configs.

Grok Build is the official coding CLI from xAI. It runs as an interactive TUI, as a headless one-shot command with`grok -p`, or as an agent process for editor integrations. Version strings look like`grok 0.2.x` when you run`grok --version`. Data lives under`~/.grok/` by default (config, auth, sessions, skills, rules). You can relocate the whole tree with the`GROK_HOME` environment variable. Skills follow the agentskills.io layout under`~/.grok/skills/`, and MCP servers are configured in`~/.grok/config.toml`. Grok Build moves quickly. Install and auth details can change; when something disagrees with this page, prefer the official xAI CLI docs and`grok --help` on your machine. ## Install Grok Build The recommended path is the official install script. It works on macOS and Linux, and on Windows via Git Bash or the native PowerShell installer. bash ``` # macOS / Linux / Git Bash curl -fsSL https://x.ai/cli/install.sh | bash # Verify grok --version ``` powershell ``` # Windows PowerShell irm https://x.ai/cli/install.ps1 | iex ``` The installer places the binary under`~/.grok/bin`(or`%USERPROFILE%\.grok\bin` on Windows) and adds it to your PATH. Update later with`grok update`. After install, run`grok doctor` to check terminal, clipboard and color support before your first long session. ## First launch and authentication From a project directory, run`grok`. On first launch the CLI opens a browser to authenticate (typically against grok.com). Credentials land in`~/.grok/auth.json` and refresh automatically. For CI or headless environments without a browser, set an API key instead: bash ``` export XAI_API_KEY="xai-..." grok -p "Summarize this repository" ``` Grok Build is available to try free, while paid xAI plans raise usage limits. Confirm current access before a team rollout and see the Grok Build pricing and access guide. ## Commands and flags that matter You do not need every flag. These are the ones that show up daily: - `grok`: start the interactive TUI in the current directory - `grok "fix the flaky test"`: open the TUI with an initial prompt - `grok -p "..."`(or`--single`): one-shot headless prompt to stdout - `grok --continue`/`-c`: continue the most recent session for this cwd - `grok --resume`/`-r`: resume by session id or title - `grok --always-approve`: auto-approve tool runs (YOLO-style; use carefully) - `grok --worktree=name`: start in a new git worktree - `grok --no-plan`/`--no-subagents`: disable plan mode or native subagents - `grok sessions list`/`search`: find past sessions - `grok export`: export a transcript as Markdown Permission modes include`default`,`acceptEdits`,`auto`,`dontAsk`,`bypassPermissions` and`plan` via`--permission-mode`. Plan Mode is covered in depth in the Plan Mode guide. bash ``` grok --help grok doctor grok sessions list ``` ## Run Grok Build inside CodeAgentSwarm Pick Grok Build per terminal like any other agent. CodeAgentSwarm is a desktop workspace that runs on top of the official CLIs. Install Grok Build on the machine, open CodeAgentSwarm, and choose Grok Build in the SELECT AI AGENT picker for that terminal. From there you get desktop notifications when a session finishes or needs input, searchable history across agents, live per-terminal diffs, and the ability to mix Grok Build with Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, OpenCode and Kimi Code in one window. That is different from Grok Build&`#39`;s own native subagents: those stay inside one vendor session. A CodeAgentSwarm swarm is several independent terminals you supervise. The Grok Build agent swarm guide and the subagents vs swarm comparison spell out the difference. ## FAQ Is Grok Build the same as the Grok chatbot? No. Grok Build is xAI&`#39`;s coding CLI (the grok command). The Grok chatbot is a separate consumer product. CodeAgentSwarm integrates the CLI. How do I install Grok Build?

Resolve Grok’s effective credential directory before billing.

The child receives the merged provider environment. Grok uses $GROK_HOME/auth.json when GROK_HOME is set. Otherwise, Windows uses %USERPROFILE%\.grok\auth.json. GrokDriver uses only processEnv.HOME or the server home, and grokAuthFilePath always appends .grok/auth.json. A reachable configured account can therefore produce an unsupported usage snapshot when the server home lacks that account’s file.

Resolve GROK_HOME first. Otherwise, use the merged USERPROFILE on Windows or the platform home fallback. Append .grok only when GROK_HOME is unset.

Do not block session startup on the billing request.

startSession runs under withThreadLock, and publishGrokUsageLimits awaits the production fetchUsageLimits callback. GrokDriver.ts binds that callback to fetchGrokUsageLimits, which can wait for the 15-second billing timeout. This delays the startSession result and keeps the thread semaphore held after the Grok session is ready.

Run publication in the session scope so billing remains best-effort.

Do not block provider status on the billing request.

checkGrokProviderStatus awaits fetchUsageLimits after cached-token authentication succeeds. fetchGrokUsageLimits can wait 15 seconds for AbortSignal.timeout(15_000). Error handling converts the result to probeFailed only after the wait. Because usageLimits is optional, return the ready status without waiting for this best-effort probe, or apply the status-probe timeout policy.

Reject a present creditUsagePercent with the wrong type.

grokBillingToWindows maps a present string, null, or object to 0, then emits a window with usedPercent: 0. This can report unused capacity for a malformed billing response. Preserve 0 only when the field is omitted.

Proposed fix
-  const usedPercent = typeof config.creditUsagePercent === "number" ? config.creditUsagePercent : 0;
+  const rawUsedPercent = config.creditUsagePercent;
+  if (rawUsedPercent !== undefined && typeof rawUsedPercent !== "number") {
