Hi everyone,
I’m currently evaluating my Cursor usage and need some clarification about Pro account limitations vs API costs. Looking at my usage pattern, I want to make an informed decision about my subscription.
My Current Situation:
-
Currently using Cursor Pro
-
Heavy usage: ~10-15M tokens per day based on my usage history
-
Missed the annual subscription discount and considering alternatives
-
Mainly use it for Flutter/Dart development work
Questions I Need Help With:
1. Cursor Pro Token Limitations
-
Does Cursor Pro have daily or monthly token limits?
-
If yes, what are the specific limits?
-
What happens when you exceed them - throttling, fallback to slower models, or complete cutoff?
2. Cost Analysis Based on My Usage Looking at my usage history (attached screenshot showing ~10M+ tokens daily), I’m trying to calculate:
-
How much would this cost if I exceed Pro limits and pay per additional usage?
-
Is there a break-even point where I should consider alternatives?
-
Are there usage-based tiers I should be aware of?
3. Subscription Decision
-
Cursor Pro vs other AI coding assistants for heavy users - which is more economical?
-
Any upcoming changes to Pro limitations I should be aware of?
-
Alternative platforms worth considering for Flutter/Dart development work?
My Usage Pattern:
-
Primarily code generation, debugging, and refactoring (Flutter/Dart)
-
Long coding sessions with extensive AI assistance
-
Daily usage ranging from 300K to 8M+ tokens
-
Peak usage shows I can hit 2.6M tokens in a single session
Has anyone with similar heavy usage done a cost analysis? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance for your help!
