How do promo tokens work

I’m very confused how promo tokens work, I’ve been using it on auto the whole day but my promo tokens are not getting used, but then it doesn’t let me switch to premium models as I’ve used up my monthly subscription already.

Hi @Some_Henry Thanks for the post. If you have usage credits, you can typically see them here: https://cursor.com/dashboard

You currently have a $20.00 usage credit on your account. You have used $2.11 so far, with $17.89 remaining before the credit expires on May 23, 2026.

These are usage credits, so they apply automatically to eligible usage before any included or on-demand usage is used. You can see any current credit balance and keep track of promo credit usage on your dashboard at https://cursor.com/dashboard.

it seems like it just directly added to my on demand usage instead of using the credit
