Allow Background Agent to use Monthly Requests

I know background agents are for power users, but why not let them eat up subscription plan credits rather than jumping straight to pay-per-use?

You can use your 500 request allowance towards Background Agent as far as I know, but you do have to use a MAX model, which does mean Cursor could use those requests up very quickly, depending on the task you give it!

But, is it a choice? If so, how do we use the allowance? It seems that by default it doesn’t touch the request allowance.

As any other Agent its using primarily the request allowance and then usage based pricing. Its nowhere a choice.
