Cursor's 'Auto' Mode Token Policy: Is It Fair for Users?

Has anyone noticed that Cursor’s ‘Auto’ mode actually counts tokens? This means we’re forced to burn through our Claude model’s token quota before ‘Auto’ even kicks in.

From what I was told this doesn’t actually count against your premium usage but who knows with how everyone seems to be having the same issue of burning through tokens at an accelerated rate.

Auto usage doesn’t count against user selected premium model limits, so you can use auto without burning through Sonnet usage.
