Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

I could take advantage of this situation but I don’t think it’s the right thing to do.
The command with ctrl+k doesn’t stop when you run out of tokens, and when you check the usage it says 0 tokens. (see report in additional information) Obviously for me it’s op, initially I thought it would work in a small local AI, but it’s impossible: without a network it doesn’t work. So I would ask you to fix it before you lose tons of money.

Steps to Reproduce

Go over limit usage.
In cursor ctrl+k write an command, see that work.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, this isn’t a bug. It’s expected behavior on the Free plan. Once you’ve used up your included limit, you can still access Auto and Cmd+K via a slow queued pool. Requests run slower depending on load. The banner will say something like “You’ve reached your limit. Responses may be slower.” These requests are labeled Free and aren’t billed.

About “0 tokens” in usage, that was a UI display bug with the counter. It was fixed on April 16. If you update Cursor to the latest version, the numbers should show correctly.

More context here: Did Cursor start giving free slow responses after the usage limit is reached at 100%?
