Documentation inconsistency: Auto mode limit handling needs clarification

Hey, let me clarify for you:

  • Auto is unlimited on every plan, and has no effect on your usage allowances each month.
  • Auto does route between frontier models, like the ones you have listed, but this still doesn’t consume any usage as we intelligently route your request based on the capacity of the models, which makes it more affordable for us to serve
  • I don’t believe we suggest switching to Auto if you are already using it, as you should never see any usage errors in the first place - this is likely an AI getting this wrong in your post
  • We do not list the exact costs for each LLM directly, but these are charged at ‘API pricing’, which means you can check the exact costs on the website for the model you have chosen.
  • We believe most users may find they have all the usage they need with Pro, which is why Pro+ isn’t offered on the website. You would be offered it if you hit any usage limits in the editor.
  • We don’t have a button to upgrade within the cursor.com account page, but I think this is a good idea so I’ll pass this to the team!
