I’m on Day 2 of the free Pro trial and Cursor won’t let me continue AI chat. I’ve been using it in Agent mode with the model set to auto-select. It now wants me to upgrade to Pro to continue. But the Settings page says I’ve only used 50/150 of my fast requests quota for premium models?

Tell us if the issue stops you from using Cursor.

Still usable as a plain code editor, I guess. No AI.

Cursor information is the same.

think I’ve found our answer. came across this while searching the forums today.

Free version is fast and responsive, but Pro requires waiting—what's the business logic behind Cursor's approach?

@777lent Just responded to you in a different thread, but in short, free users do not have access to fast requests and are not being prioritized over paid users. @condor Also responded to you in a different thread. We had to implement a limit to 50 requests on the free trial to a small subset of users who we identified as being at higher risk of abusing the trial. While this, unfortunately, meant we had some free trial users who were limited, even though they were legitimate users, this was nec…

Also found another post saying users in Australia have been limited to 50 requests. I’m in SE Asia. From your surname I’m guessing you are too. I guess we fall into the “higher risk of abusing the trial” group.
