Cursor Pro+ users report faster AI model usage depletion

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Users of the legacy Cursor Pro+ subscription are experiencing a significantly faster depletion of their AI model usage allowance. The "Auto" feature, which previously lasted the entire billing month, is now consuming over half of the allocated pool with 28 days remaining. Cursor support explained that this is due to Auto no longer using a bundled rate, and instead billing each request at the list price of the model it routes to, leading to a quicker burn rate. This change has led users to question the value of the Pro+ subscription if Auto is essentially just passing through API costs. AI

IMPACT This change in Cursor's AI model usage billing could impact user adoption and satisfaction with AI-integrated development tools.
