Cursor Pro+ users report rapid depletion of third-party model credits

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user on Reddit reported that their Cursor Pro+ plan rapidly depleted its third-party model credits after a single complex query. The user asked Claude to generate a plan for porting an Android app to iPhone, which the model completed. Following this, Cursor prompted the user to switch models, leading the user to suspect Claude might have intentionally used more credits to signal a potential issue with the plan's credit system. AI
