Thanks for the report! We have a bug report open for this - this appears to be a UI display issue. Billing and accounting and limits are working correctly but they may be displayed incorrect as 0 in the UI.

Occasionally, if a request errors out, it shows as 0 tokens used and free or charge, but if it is happening for every request, that is more likely a bug. We’ve a bug report open for this so I can let you know when this is fixed.

Your usage should still be reflecting correctly so if you’re unsure how much you’re using I would rely on the graph here: [https://cursor.com/dashboard/spending?from=2026-05-18&to=2026-05-18](https://cursor.com/dashboard/spending?from=2026-05-18&to=2026-05-18)

Hey @Doge_man

Just to follow up here, it was expected to see 0 tokens for Free usage! And, recognizing that’s a bit confusing, you’ll now see a `-` instead.
