Cursor user disputes $192 annual upgrade charge, cites unclear billing and refused refund

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

A user is expressing dissatisfaction with Cursor's billing practices after an annual upgrade. The user was charged $192 for an annual subscription just six days into their monthly plan, losing the remaining paid benefits of the monthly subscription. Despite contacting support on the same day and requesting a reversal, Cursor has refused to refund the annual charge or restore the original monthly plan, instead offering a non-renewal for the following year and citing on-demand API usage fees.
