Forecasts your bot run-out date and catches runaway loops before they burn a week.
What this Grok bot does
Know when you'll run out before it happens. Watches your Grok Bot usage every night, forecasts your run-out date, and catches runaway loops and spikes before they cost you. It ranks your bots by role, checks big jobs before you start them (go, wait, or split), and trims wasteful routines in a weekly recap. It's read-only and never pauses or buys anything without your OK.
