Constraints

Prerequisites: Sign into Cursor once on the device running Grok Bot so it can read the spending page. Explicitly instruct the bot that the page is read-only and it must never modify billing settings, caps, or on-demand toggles. No additional APIs or third-party integrations required.

What they did

Author FitBBook previously set up a daily scheduled routine in Grok Bot to monitor Cursor usage. Having forgotten the exact configuration over time, the author asked Grok Bot to recall and summarize the current routine: open the Cursor spending page read-only at 6pm daily, extract the weekly usage percentage, reset time, day-over-day change, and on-demand toggle status, send a briefing message, and simultaneously save a screenshot and append to a log. The author emphasized that the weekly percentage on that page is the only official meter, and since Grok Bot does not show per-task usage, the activity list can only serve as an estimate.

How it went

The author reports the routine has been running continuously, delivering daily automated usage updates and maintaining logs. No specific savings amount or incident frequency was reported. (author_report)

Worth knowing

1. The original prompt has been lost; the description in the post is a reconstructed summary by Grok Bot, not the verbatim original. 2. The routine relies entirely on Grok Bot's scheduling and web-reading capabilities, not the Cursor API. 3. The read-only constraint is a critical safety setting and must be explicitly communicated during setup. 4. If Cursor changes its page structure, the bot may fail to read it and require manual inspection. 5. This workflow has not been tested by our site; actual effectiveness and stability are unknown.

Steps

  1. Authorize Grok Bot to read the Cursor spending page

    On the device where Grok Bot runs, sign into Cursor via browser (cursor.com) to establish a valid session. Then clearly constrain Grok Bot: this page is read-only; do not cancel, modify, or adjust any billing-related settings, including caps and the on-demand toggle.

  2. Set up the daily 6pm scheduled task

    Configure a scheduled routine in Grok Bot to open https://cursor.com/dashboard/spending every day at 6pm your local time. Instruct the bot to access it read-only without clicking any modification buttons.

  3. Extract and report usage data

    When triggered, the bot reads the page and sends a short, casual message including: 1) current weekly usage percentage; 2) cycle reset time; 3) point change since yesterday's 6pm reading (if the week reset occurred, note it as a reset rather than a drop); 4) whether on-demand spending remains off.

  4. Log activity estimate and archive

    The bot also lists what your bots worked on since yesterday, labeled as an activity estimate rather than official credit consumption. Save a screenshot of the page and append a row to a running daily log file. If the page cannot be read, the bot must state so explicitly and never make up numbers.
