I don’t think this is a good approach.
From a user perspective, this feels less like a product improvement and more like a way to push Legacy users from request-based pricing into the newer usage-based model. For long-term Legacy users, it feels inconsistent and unfair.
I think Cursor should consider a fairer and more consistent pricing model for Legacy users, especially one that keeps the fixed-request structure they originally signed up for.
Legacy users are typically some of Cursor’s earliest supporters. I’ve been using Cursor long enough to almost witness its transition from the old tab-based experience to the current agent-based workflow. Even when there were bugs, I was still willing to report them on the forum and wait for fixes. A more thoughtful and stable pricing policy is expected, rather than being gradually optimized away and punish the earliest users.
Cursor’s revenue growth should come from a broader product strategy, not from making the experience less predictable or less favorable for the users who supported the platform early on.
