Cursor users question sub-agent billing for Opus 5 High

A user on the r/cursor subreddit is inquiring about the billing for sub-agent usage within the Cursor cloud environment. They are using Grok 4.5 High for most coding tasks and Opus 5 High as a sub-agent for reviewing architecture and design. The user has noticed that their billing details do not clearly separate the costs associated with Opus usage, with it being rolled into a single line item for Grok 4.5 High, despite being on an unlimited plan. They are seeking clarification on how to track their actual spending for Opus when used as a sub-agent, questioning if it's a billing lag or a feature of the cloud setup. AI
