Cursor "Auto" is no-longer unlimited

This news was heart-breaking. I joined cursor because of the unlimited tab completion. Yes it has certain, quirkiness and disadvantageous sometimes. But it didn’t matter, I can try how much ever I want and from different perspectives to debug and to build.

Now it seems that Cursor is going another way, which sucks because that means I have to migrate and finally unsub from Cursor.

Maybe anyone wanted to ruminate on how good and niche cursor was?

Hey, I get the frustration. You’re right: Auto really was unlimited until August 2025, and that was one of the key features.

As of September 15, Auto became paid at API rates ($1.25 per 1M input tokens, $6.00 per 1M output tokens). Users who bought an annual plan before the change kept unlimited Auto until the end of their subscription period.

What plan are you on right now, and how often do you use Agent/Chat?

I’m on Pro right now. I use Agent/Chat basically every chance I get really. I never really migrated to others and stayed loyal to Cursor just because of the unlimited package Cursor was offering.

I am on Pro Plus, since this month Auto is being billed which kind of sucks, it was very useable for main tasks I only needed to switch to advanced models for complex stuff.

If I hit the limit, this will make me use more VS Code with Copilot and even Antigravity. Price Policy and the latest Feature changes did not make Cursor better. I cant get it to read comments from GitHub pr request anymore, and its not possible to connect to Virtual Machines on cloud agents anymore. What’s the point of Cloud Agents then anymore?
