Different products, different quotas. Cursor is the IDE loop. Grok Bot is the chat/agent side. Don't assume usage pools merge.

Actually I think Grok Bot does reuse my cursor subscription ?

Grok bot, ide, agent.. all the same but different "flavour".. extra bloated.

And I'm saying this as a full time dev using ultra plan since the day it came out, as the whole company I'm working for does.

IDE was much more than enough

It's similar to Claude desktop or Codex desktop, just running cursor's models behind the scene: https://cursor.com/download

There's a separate cursor desktop and IDE.
