Cursor Pro billing error leaves user with 8 days of service

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user reported a flawed billing logic issue with Cursor Pro, where a $20 payment made on October 19th was applied to a previous inactive period instead of starting a new subscription month. This resulted in the user only receiving 8 days of Pro service before it expired. The AI support agent, named Sam, insisted this was the intended system behavior and demanded an additional payment for the current period, refusing to escalate the issue to a human representative.
