• “All grok bot routines failed to run. Where does the bug appear (feature/product)? Grok Bot Describe the Bug Scheduled routines stopped firing for all my bots on Thu 8 Oct 2026. Inbox’s scans (every :29 and :59, 08:29 to 20:59 UK) ran until about 14:00, failed at 16:55, and haven’t run since, even after I paused and resumed the routine. Another 16:15 routine also failed, and a one-off routine set for 18:06 never fired. The bots work normally when I message them, so it looks like a server-side scheduler fault Steps to Reproduce All grok bot routines failed to fire at the scheduled times Expected Behavior Routines run at scheduled times Screenshots / Screen Recordings Operating System MacOS iOS Version Information Grok Bot 1.14.0 (17267) · runtime e9651e08edc0248a43ce2d13839fa55c7d2e1425 · embedded bundle · channel production Additional Information Paused and Resumed, created a copy of the routine instead both failed to solve the issue Does this stop you from using Cursor No - Cursor works, but with this issue 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic”
