Users of the Cursor IDE have reported unexpected high API usage, specifically concerning the use of Anthropic's Claude models as subagents. One user noted that when using "Cursor Grok 4.5" with a plan generated by Claude Code, the system spun up both Sonnet and Opus 4.8 subagents, consuming 20% of their API usage on a $60 plan within a single day. This behavior was not observed previously when using Composer 2.5 for building, leading the user to question if this is normal or a bug. AI
