I am more worried here about shady practices forcing you to make new requests.
For example, my code is written by myself. 500 requests works for me, and I am not using it every day. But when I do use it, especially after latest upgrade, Cursor borderlines with useless (for example, I spent yesterday 10 requests telling Cursor not to do something, using Claude 4 Sonnet, where it was answering with you are totally right, I apologise, and doing exactly the same. Ten times in a row. Then I just gave up. But I spent at least 10 requests this way, and probably got myself close to being rate limited without even being aware of it. And more this is happening I am less using it, and I am discovering more introductions of something that will make my user experience even worse.
Another request stealer which is becoming more and more annoying is “add domain model here, here are 29 different examples, or consistent, and add API there”, and then it finishes with adding domain model, and patiently waits for you to give it yes to continue doing what you already told it to do, but for request extra.
I am totally aware that this is not commodity, but I think everyone would appreciate transparency and not hiding counters and inventing new road blockers on the fly for people who paid year in advance. Someone really should pay some attention to UX or users will just leave, not from protests, but because it will become useless.
