SuperGrok Was Charged but Still Shows Free: Account, Billing Route and Entitlement Checks

Short answer: do not pay again. A bank charge, store receipt, active subscription and Grok entitlement are separate states, so first identify the original purchase route and the exact account that owns it.

If the plan is active but a feature is unavailable, also check the weekly usage limit. A usage cap and a missing subscription are not the same problem.

Separate the four states

State	What it proves	What it does not prove
Bank authorization or pending charge	The bank reserved or reviewed funds	That the payment was finally captured
Final receipt	The provider recorded a completed purchase	That the current login is the purchasing account
Active subscription	The billing provider considers the plan active	That every feature has remaining usage
Account entitlement	The current Grok identity received the paid plan	That another Apple, Google or X login owns the same plan

1. Find the original billing route

Check only the platform that processed the purchase:

Purchase route	Where to check
grok.com	The signed-in Grok account’s billing page
Apple App Store	Subscriptions and purchase history under the original Apple account
Google Play	Payments & subscriptions under the original Google account
X Premium+	Premium settings under the purchasing X account
ChongGrok card key	Card-key verification and order processing status

If you cannot identify the route, search the receipt issuer and transaction description before changing accounts or paying again.

2. Verify the original account and sign-in method

The xAI consumer FAQ states that subscriptions are tied to the account used to buy them. Confirm:

1. the account email or X identity used at purchase;
2. whether the current session used email, Google, Apple or X sign-in;
3. whether another browser or app is already signed into a different Grok account;
4. whether the active subscription appears inside that exact account.

Similar display names do not establish that two sessions are the same account.

3. Check Apple Hide My Email

If the purchase used Sign in with Apple and Hide My Email, continue with the same Apple sign-in method. Typing the Apple relay email into another login method can open a separate Grok identity that does not own the subscription.

Do not create another account to solve this mismatch. Return to the original Apple authentication route.

4. Distinguish a weekly limit from an inactive plan

An account can have an active paid subscription while some paid usage is temporarily unavailable.

Observation	More likely explanation
Billing shows no active plan	Missing, expired or wrong-account subscription
Billing is active and Settings → Usage shows a reached limit	Weekly usage allowance is exhausted
Another login shows the paid plan	Current session uses the wrong account
Store subscription is active but app shows Upgrade	App/session synchronization or account mismatch

Check the current usage screen and reset information. Do not purchase another membership to bypass a weekly usage limit.

5. Refresh the app or browser state

After confirming the correct account and active subscription:

1. update the Grok app;
2. fully close and reopen it;
3. sign out and back in with the original method;
4. clear the browser cache or test a private window;
5. reinstall the app only after recording the account and purchase evidence.

These actions can refresh local state, but they cannot transfer a subscription between accounts.

6. Check a ChongGrok order without repurchasing

For an existing ChongGrok card key or order, use chonggrok.com/verify and confirm:

• the card key was accepted;
• the submitted Grok User ID belongs to the intended account;
• the order is pending, completed or failed;
• the current browser is signed into that same account; and
• the processing record matches the order.

A Grok User ID is an account identifier, not a password, but it is sensitive and must not be posted publicly. Do not place a second order while the first order or payment remains unresolved.

Only after confirming that no active, completed or pending purchase exists should current options at chonggrok.com/supergrok be considered.

Who should handle the problem?

Evidence	Contact
Direct grok.com receipt but entitlement is missing	xAI consumer support
Apple receipt or App Store subscription issue	Apple
Google Play receipt or Play subscription issue	Google Play
X Premium+ billing or linked X account issue	X
Bank authorization or issuer decline	Card issuer
ChongGrok card key or processing record	ChongGrok support

Keep the account email, login method, platform, redacted receipt, date, currency, amount, screenshot, app version and device details. Never publish passwords, codes, full payment details or User IDs.
