**Greetings, everybody,** I’d like to know how long GPT-5 will be available for free. I noticed that the cost per 1M input and output tokens is similar to o3, so I was wondering — what if you made it free for Pro users as well, perhaps with a slightly slower queue like o3? ---

But on using GPT-5 it shows me api cost, even on the try message of hi. It costs $0.01 ![Screenshot 2025-08-08 at 5.35.37 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/6/4/64756a13f34b8590f1fc84d6dc1d23c3cc85e3b5.jpeg) ---

Yes we show it for reference so you can see the consumption. ---

Isn’t it free anyway? ---

You previously stated that GPT-5 is free for Pro plan subscribers. If it is free, why is it still counted towards the $20 allowance? Could you please confirm whether “free” means it doesn’t count at all toward the $20 budget, or simply that it doesn’t incur extra charges beyond that budget? Thank you, ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/a/6/a66cc3249d32fc1252e8eb17ed233388c49fd1f2.png) ---

It is not counted it is displayed for transparency. ---

Free period: Are all of the following models free to use until August 13, 2025 (PST) without deducting from my $20 monthly allowance? gpt-5 gpt-5-fast gpt-5-high gpt-5-low gpt-5-high-fast gpt-5-low-fast gpt-5-mini gpt-5-nano Exact cost: After the free period ends, can you provide the exact $ cost per message for each of these models under my new Pro plan? I want to clearly understand how much each will deduct from my $20 allowance so I can plan my usage effectively. Thank you in advance for your assistance. Kind regards, @condor @deanrie ---

Yes it is free through 13th August until midnight. OpenAI will announce all pricing at their API page. Our prices are their list prices \* 1.2. [https://openai.com/api/pricing/](https://openai.com/api/pricing/) `-high` is a high reasoning model, uses more thinking tokens. `-fast` is a priority queue and costs therefore more. As the cost depends on your context and token usage we can not predict how much it will cost for you upfront. Note that we do not count requests but token usage. Example for GPT-5, simplified: - Request using 10 input and 1000 output tokens: ~$0.01 - Request using 100 000 input and 10 000 tokens = ~$0.23 You can see in Dashboard \> Usage also the total cost of your requests during this GPT-5 testing period. (It will not count as usage from your plan) As it is shown there you can monitor it already. ---

Hello, I received the email stating that GPT-5 is free to use in Cursor until Wednesday, August 13 at midnight PT. Does this mean that the free usage will end on Thursday, August 14 at 09:00 in the morning Croatian time (CEST)? Thank you for clarifying. Kind regards ---

Hi Cursor Team, I am currently using Cursor v1.4.5 (user setup, Windows 10, VSCode 1.99.3) and I noticed that the Chat: Focus on Chat View command does not work on my side. Could you please enable this feature for my account so I can access it? Thank you very much for your help!
