All the free models to use are now consuming requests that include GPT-5-mini, gemimi-flash-2.5, and the auto model (I haven’t tested the other free models, but these 3 are 100% consuming requests)

Oh, I hope not, they were quite useful for small modifications. They are always counted, but you notice them being free only after you have reached your limit normally. Basically, when you have no more included credits, you usually can still use those models.
That’s incorrect.
Free models were always excluded from Premium Requests. I can tell for sure as I’ve used them for months, and my usage number never used to increase when using free models. Free models were reported with 0 consuming premium requests.
Unfortunately GPT-5 mini and Gemini 2.5 flash are not longer free. The only free models I could find right now on Cursor are:
- GPT-5 nano
- Grok-code-fast-1
