Grok Bot fixes
Find the Grok Bot problem you are seeing and follow the relevant fix. Covers login challenges, spending, shared-computer security, stopped routines and plan access.

If spending is rising

If you are worried about access or security
- Clean up the shared Grok Bot computer if a test left logins, files or downloads behind.
- Give each Bot its own accounts before connecting email, CRM or accounting tools.
- Check which routines can be prompt-injected if a Bot reads inboxes, tickets, web pages or uploaded documents.
- Remove access left behind by a deleted Bot if the Bot is gone but its sessions or connector permissions remain.
- Stop a Bot from sending email as you if your personal Gmail account was connected.
- Review a public Bot share if you exposed its configuration.
If Grok Bot will not start
- Check whether your plan is eligible.
- Check the supported app platforms.
- Review the Legacy Privacy Mode requirement before changing an account-wide data setting.
Before you call a fix complete
- Repeat the exact action that failed.
- Confirm which account the Bot is using.
- Confirm it can access only the source required for that job.
- Run one small test record.
- Check the output, the run history and the usage dashboard.
If your problem is not listed, send the exact message and the step that produced it.
