Grok Down for 48+ Hours — SuperGrok Ani/Rudi/Valentine Users Locked Out as xAI Doesn't Acknowledge Outage

IBTimes·medium signal

xAI's Grok chatbot has been throwing 'high demand' errors for 48+ hours as of April 23, locking out free users and paid SuperGrok subscribers including Ani, Rudi, and Valentine companion features. Despite widespread reports, xAI's official status page shows 'fully operational' while StatusGator flagged an unacknowledged outage. Speculation points to compute being redirected to power Cursor's backend and the quiet Grok 4.3 beta rollout.
