I’d like to express that Cursor has become too expensive. It’s a great tool, but the new pricing makes it hard for many independent developers or those from regions with lower purchasing power to afford it. Please consider more affordable or region-based pricing plans.

My cursor expired on my PRO plan a few days ago. I didn’t renew. I liked the plan I signed up for at the time. 500 requests + slow requests was a perfect balance. Now, with PRO+, I can’t use it and have the same productivity. See you soon. If cursor prices improve, maybe I’ll come back.

I usually last like 3/4 a month on my quota. But remember: It’s not over when your quota is reached! You can still use it forever in auto mode! You would be surprised at how much it can still do as long as you design your specs, unit tests, and task well! In fact, I always launch my Background Agen…

Guys and gals, do you understand that Cursor resells LLM models? If a model costs $10 per 1M tokens, Cursor can’t charge for it $5. You can complain as much as you can, but it’s just business. If you don’t like prices you can write code on your own. I also don’t like to pay, but it’s just business -…

Ditto, hit the same problem.
