Cursor users lament removal of API quotas, citing Elon Musk's influence

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Users are expressing dissatisfaction with Cursor's recent changes, particularly the removal of API quotas. This alteration, perceived as Elon Musk's influence, has diminished the value proposition of Cursor Ultra for users who relied on it to efficiently manage and compare multiple AI models. The loss of this feature makes Cursor a less compelling option compared to direct API access, leading to potential subscription cancellations. AI

IMPACT Potential decrease in adoption for AI-integrated development tools if core features are perceived as degraded.

    Is there still api quotas in the new cursor subscriptions? Because if it is not then there is no reason to keep using the cursor ultra.
