I haven’t used Cursor for three months. I stopped because of the limit. What is the current limit policy? Is it worth signing up again?
No. They removed 500 user request limit. Now it’s token-based one. 20$ plan is not working anymore. Better to find another competitor.

In a normal working day, how many days does it take to exhaust the claude limit?
4-5 days, if you control the use of tokens. Before changing the plan, it took me a whole month. I only reached the limit once. And I have been using the $20 sub-plan for over a year.
After reviewing competitors there now sense to use Cursor with that price plan.
This is a very bad value. Therefore, we cannot return to the Cursor.
No. It’s marginally the same as most other AI IDEs now and every update seems to break something or make it worse. They’re at the stage where they keep developing to make it look like they changed something, but realistically they’re just here to claim big numbers, collect new funding, and don’t care much about the users.

I gave up on being a pro member again.
Now, 20$ is one day of work with Claude Sonnet 4.
This is too bad. It’s too bad that the cursor is getting worse over time.

Nope. I have an annual pro plan and I am not planning to prolong it when it’s expired.

I switch to use Gemini Flash, it’s better than I expected and its pretty cheap too.
It’s not Sonnet but if you use it as a helper rather than a one-shot bot then you’ll be happy
Don’t. The old plan is the only reason to keep using it, and you wont get it as a “new user”.
Claude code is better, anyway.
Just don’t be an early access user. I must be an idiot for selecting early access as I feel they don’t bother to test them at all, and idiots like me are supposed to be the testers. Finally I have unselected early access after the update to 1.3.6 just stopped cursor working all together.
Echoing others’ but $20 now is about a days’ worth of work with Claude Sonnet 4.
While it was being introduced it was 50% off but was often stalling and wasting money re-trying as it would just “lose connection”. Now it is more reliable but much more expensive. So, its cheaper but you are the tester at your own expense.
Trying “auto” the quality of the answers for coding is quite a bit worse than Claude Sonnet 4 and it is often less contextually aware and goes off on rabbit holes or false assumptions. I’ve noticed “auto” rarely seems to pay attention to docs or cursorrules.
Unless Claude 4 becomes significantly cheaper (50%) I will be moving off cursor.
