Nothing here is announced, I haven&amp;rsquo;t tried any of it, and I&amp;rsquo;m working from a leaked price list like a man reading tea leaves. Keep that in mind, because I&amp;rsquo;m about to do some confident-sounding arithmetic on numbers that might be bullshit.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;The rumor is a single plan called &lt;strong&gt;Xpass&lt;/strong&gt; that folds X, Grok, Cursor and Grok Bot into one subscription. Four tiers:&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;ul&gt;&#10;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Premium, $8:&lt;/strong&gt; Grok Lite plus X Premium, a shared quota, Cursor included, and Grok API access.&lt;/li&gt;&#10;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Plus, $30:&lt;/strong&gt; SuperGrok plus X Premium+, 4x the Premium usage, Grok Bot, Cursor cloud agents and Bugbot.&lt;/li&gt;&#10;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Super, $100:&lt;/strong&gt; SuperGrok Plus and X Premium+, 15x Premium usage, 1080p, faster replies and priority access.&lt;/li&gt;&#10;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ultra, $200:&lt;/strong&gt; SuperGrok Heavy and X Premium+, 50x Premium usage, the fastest replies and the earliest access.&lt;/li&gt;&#10;&lt;/ul&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;There&amp;rsquo;s also a launch promo in the rumor, 50% off the first month, dated October 9. I don&amp;rsquo;t know if that&amp;rsquo;s the launch date or the promo&amp;rsquo;s deadline, and the leak doesn&amp;rsquo;t say.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;The multipliers are the part I trust least. The 4x, 15x and 50x usage figures are explicitly unconfirmed, and &amp;ldquo;4x of a shared quota I can&amp;rsquo;t see&amp;rdquo; isn&amp;rsquo;t a number so much as a mood.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;h2 id="why-a-rumor-has-my-attention-this-time"&gt;Why a rumor has my attention this time&lt;/h2&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Normally I&amp;rsquo;d read a leak like this, shrug, and go back to being annoyed at something else. This one lands differently because I&amp;rsquo;m already paying for two of the things in the bundle.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Right now I spend $30 a month on SuperGrok and another $8 a month on X. That&amp;rsquo;s $38 for the two. The rumored Plus tier is $30 and lists SuperGrok and X Premium+ together. If that&amp;rsquo;s real, it would cover what I already pay for, cost me $8 less, and throw in Cursor cloud agents, Bugbot and Grok Bot on top. I&amp;rsquo;m seriously considering the move. Not because I&amp;rsquo;m excited about a social network, but because paying less for the same stuff plus extras is a very easy sentence to like.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;The catch is the word &amp;ldquo;if.&amp;rdquo; I haven&amp;rsquo;t seen anything official, and I&amp;rsquo;m not paying for a leaked screenshot.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;h2 id="the-math-that-made-me-look-twice"&gt;The math that made me look twice&lt;/h2&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;If the multipliers are real, the price per unit of usage falls fast as you climb. Premium works out to $8 per unit. Plus is $7.50 (30 divided by 4). Super is about $6.67. Ultra is $4 flat. The $200 tier is the same usage as fifty $8 plans, except it costs half of what fifty $8 plans would. So the rumored pricing leans hard on &amp;ldquo;buy the big one.&amp;rdquo; Nobody has confirmed any of it, so take that with salt.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;The other thing I noticed is that Cursor is baked into the cheapest tier. Cursor is a coding tool I&amp;rsquo;d normally think of as its own separate bill. Under this rumor it becomes a line item inside a bundle that also contains a social network. That&amp;rsquo;s a strange sentence to type, but here we are.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;h2 id="the-part-where-i-get-irritated-about-limits"&gt;The part where I get irritated about limits&lt;/h2&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Here&amp;rsquo;s why I&amp;rsquo;m even looking at other AI spending. I&amp;rsquo;m on the $100 plan for Claude and the $100 plan for Codex. That&amp;rsquo;s $200 a month on those two alone, and I still usually hit my weekly limit on both of them. Not occasionally. Usually.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Let that sink in. Two hundred dollars a month, and I run out of week before I run out of week.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;And Claude still has a 5 hour session limit on top of the weekly one. I&amp;rsquo;m genuinely pissed about that. I&amp;rsquo;m paying a hundred fucking dollars a month, and the thing can still cut me off mid-task because I&amp;rsquo;ve used up some arbitrary window of the afternoon. A weekly cap I can at least plan around, because it&amp;rsquo;s a budget. A 5 hour cap is a leash. It doesn&amp;rsquo;t care that I&amp;rsquo;m in the middle of something, it just decides I&amp;rsquo;m done for a while.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;So I can&amp;rsquo;t just downgrade Claude and Codex as things stand. A cheaper plan would hit the ceiling even sooner, and I&amp;rsquo;d be the idiot who saved money by having less. What I&amp;rsquo;m seriously considering is the other direction: if Xpass exists and the Grok side turns out to be any good, work out how to reshape my workflow around it so Claude and Codex can each drop down to $20 a month. That&amp;rsquo;s a huge cut from $100, and it only works if Grok and Cursor take real load off the two I&amp;rsquo;m currently maxing out. I haven&amp;rsquo;t worked out which jobs would move. That&amp;rsquo;s a question for after the thing proves it exists.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;h2 id="what-i-dont-know"&gt;What I don&amp;rsquo;t know&lt;/h2&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;rsquo;t know whether Cursor cloud agents and Bugbot are any good. I don&amp;rsquo;t know whether Grok can carry any meaningful share of what Claude and Codex do for me today. I don&amp;rsquo;t know whether the usage limits on Xpass are more generous than what I&amp;rsquo;m already fighting with, and the rumor only talks in multipliers of a quota nobody has shown me, so there&amp;rsquo;s clearly a limit in there somewhere. I haven&amp;rsquo;t run a single token through any of this, and I&amp;rsquo;m not going to pretend I have.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;What I do know is the arithmetic on the part I already pay for. $38 now, $30 if Plus shows up as described. That alone is enough to make me look, and the chance of getting two $100 plans down to $20 is enough to make me think hard about my workflow.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;October 9 is five days away. I&amp;rsquo;ll find out whether any of this is real around the same time you do, and until then my subscriptions stay exactly where they are.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;</content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
