$200 Plan Exhausted by 10% in 48 Hours: Is this the new normal for power users?

Maybe it contributes a little or not, but I manage to get the most out of Cursor, with Prompt ultra-closed.

Example:

CANONICAL STANDARD — PROMPTS FOR CURSOR

STRICT MODE.
FINAL ARCHITECTURE MODE.
TOTAL CONVERGENCE MODE.

Objective:

  1. PROHIBITED: Define what is prohibited to do in the prompt, example: be creative.
  2. AIM Define the expected result in specific points.
  3. MINIMAL CONTEXT System, module and key restrictions. docs/AI_Context_Master.md docs/canonical/.
  4. INITIAL VERIFICATION Set-Location “C: …” git status --short If the repository is not clean, make commit baseline.
  5. SCOPE (CLOSED) Backend, Frontend, allowed files and bans.
  6. RULES - Do not refactor outside of what is necessary - No new dependencies - Do not break contracts - STOP if context is missing
  7. TASKS Sequential, concrete and verifiable list.
  8. LOGIC Clear decision rules (if applicable).
  9. INVARIANTS What cannot be broken.
  10. VALIDATION Verifiable operating cases.
  11. EVIDENCE - MD document with changes, validations and risks. - The document is mandatory, even if the process fails there must be traceability
  12. OUTPUT FORMAT Structured document + summary.
  13. STOP Stop if there is ambiguity or lack of context.
  14. COMMIT If there are other changes in the repository other than the one produced by the prompt, it must be made additional commits and leave the reference.
  15. REJECTION CRITERIA Conditions that invalidate the result.
