Cursor IDE user reports rapid token depletion due to unconfigured rules

A user on Reddit reported that the Cursor IDE's $20/month plan rapidly depleted their usage within 10 minutes. The issue appears to stem from the IDE automatically filling its context with unconfigured "Rules," which then caused subsequent messages to be compacted and consume excessive tokens. The user shared screenshots of their billing page showing a significant token burn and is seeking an explanation and a way to recover the lost tokens. AI
