A user on Reddit expressed frustration with Cursor's pay-as-you-go pricing after exhausting their credits, noting that the fallback rate was significantly higher than anticipated. The user found that even with external prompt generation and low settings, a simple doc update cost $0.50, and using their own DeepSeek keys via OpenRouter in Cursor was three times more expensive than in VS Code due to Cursor's context overhead. This led the user to temporarily switch to VS Code with Cline, which they found to be a much slower experience. AI
