The 3 lessons I learned from my first week using Grok Bot to make my usage limits last. Reaching your usage limits early isn’t from chatting too much. It’s from one job that keeps running. I was running lead-generation loops with very high tool usage, hit my limits early, and dissected the data. Here’s what mattered: 1. Batch small, then stop. Don’t give the agent one open-ended goal. Finish a short slice, save the result, then continue. One long “keep going until done” run can burn more than a whole morning of controlled jobs. 2. Only pass the shortlist downstream. Early steps can look at a lot. Later steps should only see what survived the filter. Carrying the full working set forward makes every following step more expensive. 3. Put hard limits on the loop. Max items, max pages, max retries. If you don’t stop it, the agent will keep clicking, expanding, and tool-calling. Agents bill steps and tokens — not messages. Design the job so it can finish in one short run, or you will hit your usage limits way too early.
