Respectfully disagree about slow requests being no big deal. I assume your experience is quite different to mine, but so far whenever I hit the slow queue I’ve been finding I can only issue one question every 320 seconds. Given how often the models get things wrong, or connections fail, that’s unusable. More than a quarter of an hour to ask three questions? Ouch.
Personally I’m double-paying to get 1000/mo, all out of pocket because I don’t make money with my code, and whenever I hit that limit I just give up on Cursor and go use something else. It’s hard not to feel bitter about the experience, or recommend to colleagues that they give Cursor a miss until the pricing model gets fixed. I’d hoped that the costs would have come down a little bit by now as the tech improves, but so far I’ve seen no sign of that being a prospect.
As it happens, I asked about the pricing on here almost exactly a year ago, back in the days where the core team tended to reply on here, and @arvid220u said:
A year ago. Still waiting, but I can’t help rapidly running out of patience for that happening.
I don’t want to come off as disproportionately negative about it. Granted, AI-assisted coding sometimes feels like wrangling a wet soap-covered snake in a pitch black room, but I do really appreciate the benefits that Cursor brings. It’s why I want to use it. More. But can’t because the current limits are prohibitive.
I don’t know if things like this get read by Team Cursor like they used to, I know the forum traffic is so high now it’s probably difficult to keep up (other than @deanrie who seems to have such a superhuman capacity for making people feel listened to on here, I’m wondering whether someone secretly cracked AGI and they’re the working prototype). But in general it’s hard to believe the message is getting through to HQ.
I’m still holding out hope though. I just regret how often I find myself wishing the second half of the month away so I can reset and be productive again.
