Cursor accused of double-charging AI usage after initial credit

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The user's invoice stated Cursor would cover the $1799 overage due to a delay in enforcing their $1000 hard limit. However, shortly after the user raised their limit, Cursor re-billed the exact same usage amount. Customer support reportedly refused to reverse the charge, leading the user to dispute the invoice and block their card. AI
