Cursor Ultra user questions value as 'Other Models' pool shrinks

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A Cursor user shared their usage data for the Ultra subscription, indicating that the "Other Models" pool was utilized at $400 for a cycle, with a significant portion going to models like Opus 5.5 and Gemini. The user notes that if renewal for this pool drops to $100, they will not renew, as it represents a poor value compared to the previous month's usage. The "First-party" pool, estimated at $3,200 based on usage percentages, was used at 63% for models like Grok and Composer. AI
