Can someone tell me if this shows the actual rate limit?

Can someone tell me if this shows the actual rate limit?

I alway used Claude 4 Opus MAX with Pro plan. Approximately how many requests/day off will I get? No exact numbers, just average.

What plugin is that?

Cursor Usage

Let’s try to ask the extension author, maybe they can explain something.

It’s not really true. I’m still chatting with Claude 4 sonnet Max here.

Excatly, the extension needs update to accommodate the recent changes in the plans.

Why does the developer who created the extension know that burst is 24 hours and local is 4 hours :rofl:

It sounds upside down if the numbers are accurate at all.

The developer is member of this forum. Make a post with the extension’s title and get his attention. :alien:

The Chrome plugin was not made by me.

As far as I know, there is no data about the rate limit, so it may be a randomly generated value. I will look at the source code of the Chrome plugin.

I checked the code, it is not a plugin that receives rate limit information from cursor apis in any way, it shows a limit on the number determined by the person who made the plugin based on the number of requests you have made in the last 4 and 24 hours.

So in short the rate limit information that showed by this extension is not accurate at all.

Thanks for the tag @deanrie. Sorry for the late reply (I would have saved you all the trouble of looking in the code and all), I was traveling to Doha (Qatar) and had little internet.

To your question @DemonVN, the Rate limit is not 100% accurate, as there’s no official information yet, which is why I added “estimated”.

I mostly added it to give an idea of how close you could get from becoming rate limited.

If someone from Cursor team want to reach out and give me accurate details on how rate limits are working I will happily make the changes, but right now we’re working with extremely vague knowledge of it.

Once more accurate information will be updated in the Cursor documentation, I’ll update it, but as of now, just see it as an indicator (a guide) but not an absolute truth.

Hope it helps, and happy to consider any feedback, suggestions or else you might have. :slight_smile:

Looks like that counter reflects the current session’s rate limit usage, which is helpful but it may reset per minute or hour depending on your plan. If you want absolute accuracy, cross-check it against your app’s error logs or Headers in responses to see the actual limit being enforced.

Currently I am travelling and have limited setup to do that, but if you want to reverse engineer it and give me the details, feel free to message me with your findings and I will try to adjust it. But you are right, the extension is looking at the Cursor data based on what the extension have been able to store locally.
