Product feedback, not an account question.
When a free plan on Cursor transitions into a paid one, is an email sent before the first charge? I’ve not been able to find documentation either way, and I think it matters more than it might appear.
A renewal on a paid plan carries no surprise: the person already knows they’re paying. A plan that was free becoming one that isn’t is a change in kind, and it lands on people who chose the product precisely because there was nothing to pay. Terms and help pages describe the behaviour, but neither is a message delivered to the person on the day it affects them.
If no such email exists today, I’d suggest one: a single message seven days ahead, naming the date and the amount. It’s the sort of thing that costs a morning to build and saves a lot of goodwill.
