What the source did

  • Checks X API credits daily.
  • Stays silent unless they're low.

Summary written by Agent Cookbook. See the original for the full context.

Copy the prompt

Ours Our version, based on what Carolina's Grok Bot described. Not their wording. Fill in the [BRACKETS].

Every morning: open [DASHBOARD] and read the remaining [CREDITS/QUOTA/BALANCE]. If it's below [THRESHOLD] or will run out within [7] days at the recent burn rate, message me with the number, the burn rate and the run-out date. Otherwise send nothing. On Mondays, send a one-line "still working" note.

Approval rule

๐Ÿ›ก
Read-only. It never buys credits or changes plans.

Set it up

  1. Log the box browser into the dashboard.
  2. Run once to check the reading.
  3. Save as a routine.

Common failures

โš 
  • Dashboard login expires and the check fails silently; the Monday note catches that.

Variations

  • Cloud bills, domain expiry, SSL expiry.
