## What happened
One person gave a bot access to their laser engraver and instructed it to create custom business cards. The bot set up the engraver, loaded software, and created the cards without direct human input. The user hit a usage limit and was unable to use the bot for 7 days, despite having a paid subscription.
## Constraints
Grok Bot usage limits; exact reset schedule unpublished; cannot see detailed per-action usage log
Would run again: yes
