Daily usage guard: silent unless you're paced to hit 100%
Usage alarms that nag every day train you to ignore them.
What hurt
@JonasViatte tip: a daily routine that stays completely silent if projected usage stays under 100%, and only speaks when the pace will hit the cap — then lists bots by usage, suggests what to throttle, and waits for your yes before pausing anything. Author-quoted prompt. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Install silent-unless-over routine → approve pauses only when it speaks.
Bots
No new bot. Follow the first-run steps.
Plugins
None on day one. Follow the first-run steps.
Routines
Daily: project usage to reset; silent if under 100%; else brief + ranked throttle asks — pause only after yes.
The prompt
Daily usage pace guard (author-quoted)
Quoted from @JonasViatte — as published. Do not invent a second system prompt.
Last line is our approval fence: Never send, post, spend, or buy without my explicit yes.
Set up a daily routine that protects my Grok Bot usage limit. Each run: 1. Check my current usage percentage, the reset date, and how many days are left until the reset. 2. Work out my pace (usage so far divided by days elapsed in this period) and project my usage at the reset date. 3. If the projection stays under 100%, do nothing and stay completely silent. No message, no question. 4. If the projection goes over 100%: - Send me one short message with my current %, the days left, and my projected % at reset. - List my bots' regular tasks and routines, ranked by how much usage each one takes. - Suggest which non-urgent tasks to throttle, make less frequent, or defer until after the reset so I land under 100%. - Ask me which tasks to keep as priorities and which to pause. Only pause or change something after I say yes, and resume paused tasks once the usage resets. Goal: my usage never hits 100% before the reset, and I only hear from you when the numbers say I need to. Never send, post, spend, or buy without my explicit yes.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/JonasViatte/status/2117030524501815576 (credit @JonasViatte).
- 2Paste the author prompt into your ops/chief bot.
- 3Confirm it will stay silent when the projection is under 100%.
- 4When it speaks, pick which tasks to pause — it must wait for your yes.
- 5After reset, resume what you paused.
Approval fence
Only pause or change routines after you say yes; resume after reset.
What to tweak
Steal silent-unless-over; alerts that always fire get ignored.
