Display the token price in the model description

Hello, thank you for Cursor and the new subscription model with no limit of 500 requests.

I am a new Cursor user =)

However, when using it, it is not entirely clear which model is more expensive and which is less expensive.

After looking at the benchmarks, I happily switched to Open AI o3 and was happy)
Unfortunately, I did not know that this is the most expensive model.

After lengthy conversations, I was rightly blocked from accessing this model for a month because I exceeded the reasonable limit.

Next, I switched to Claude Sonet 4, which also has great features.
As I understood it, it is cheaper than o3 and I was able to communicate with it for longer until it was also blocked for me.

I would like to see the prices of tokens to understand which model can be used more often, and which ones should be saved for rarer exceptional cases.

When the limit is exceeded, Cursor offers to switch to paying for tokens from your card as you use them, but again it is not clear how much they cost.

I think that indicating the price of tokens will help users better navigate the models, understand what opportunities they have for accessing the models and how much they need to pay if the limit included in the subscription has expired and they want to continue working with the models for a separate fee.

Overall, I am very pleased with your IDE! Thank you very much for your work and product.

I didn’t like the auto model selection mode. Maybe because English is not my native language. It seems to me that the models were not chosen very well for my tasks.

DeepSeek-r1 with last update also great model)
And as I understand it, this is the most inexpensive model in terms of the cost of tokens?

Displaying the token price would help me choose between the o3, o4 mini, Clouded Sonnet 4, DeepSeek-r1 and Gemini models.

Now their cost remains unknown.

However, it makes sense to use only three models from the list to optimize your budget right now.
