If Grok isn’t working for you
Grok is xAI's AI assistant, available at grok.com, in the Grok apps, inside X, and to developers through the xAI API.
Common Grok errors
| Error | What it means | Usually | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|
High Demand | The Grok app says it is under heavy usage and cannot take your request right now; free users are hit first. | Heavy load | Wait and retry later; some users report Grok inside X (x.com/i/grok) keeps working. Source |
Limit Reached | You used up the message allowance for your plan and mode until its reset time. | Your side | Wait for the reset or switch modes or plans. Source |
429 Too Many Requests | API requests are coming too frequently and hit your rate limit. | Your side | Reduce your request rate or raise the limit in the xAI Console. Source |
401 Unauthorized | The API request has no authorization header or an invalid key. | Your side | Send Authorization: Bearer <XAI_API_KEY> with a valid key from the xAI Console. Source |
403 Forbidden | Your API key or team lacks permission or is blocked. | Your side | Ask your team admin for permission. Source |
Is it just you?
- Try Grok in a different place: grok.com, the Grok app and Grok inside X can fail separately.
- Check whether the message mentions a limit or reset time; that is your plan's allowance, not an outage.
- For the API, look at the status code: 401, 403 and 429 come from your key or limits.
- Check status.x.ai and the reports on this page.
Alternatives to Grok
Questions
Grok shows a high demand message when it cannot serve every request, which hits free users first. It usually clears after a wait; trying Grok inside X is a workaround some users report.
xAI posts incidents at status.x.ai. This page shows that status alongside our own reachability checks from several regions and reports from other users.
