Grok Bot not working? Outages and troubleshooting

What to do when your Bot's screen won't load, a task stalls, or the app shows 'Can't reach the screen', including what happened in the Oct 14, 2026 outage.

What you need

• The Grok Bot app
• A minute to check whether the problem is on your side or the service's

Steps

1. Check whether it's widespread: look for recent posts about Grok Bot on X and check Cursor's status page.
2. If there's an incident, wait rather than retrying over and over. Repeated retries can waste usage and step on half-finished work.
3. If it's only you, close and reopen the app, check your connection, and ask the Bot what it last completed.
4. For a stuck routine, open the Bot → View conversation details → Routines, pause it, and use Test run once things are back.
5. When things recover, ask the Bot to check the current state of its work (files, drafts, open tabs) before continuing.
6. If a login expired or a site needs a CAPTCHA, the Bot should hand that step to you. That isn't a bug.

Tips

• On Oct 14, 2026, a computer-access degradation lasted about five hours (roughly 10:45 AM–4:05 PM CT) and was resolved the same day.
• Hitting your usage limit can look like a stall. Check your usage before assuming an outage.
