My API usage goes down too fast. I am doing something wrong?
Users of the Cursor AI coding assistant are reporting unexpectedly high API usage, with one user experiencing a jump from 35% to 75% after a single prompt that reportedly consumed 5 million tokens. This occurred even with a small, simple repository. Another user noted that Cursor's API usage for the same model (Sonnet 4.6) was significantly higher than in VS Code, with just a few prompts reaching 20% of their limit. AI
IMPACT Potential for increased operational costs and user frustration with AI coding tools.
