How to use slow request?

My Premium models = 500/500

gpt-4o-mini or cursor-small = 330 / No Limit

I understand I am out of “fast” requests. Cursor still shows its selecting Sonnet 3.5 however I came out to my account, I see my mini going up.

I am quite happy to wait for a “slow” premium request and do not want to use the fast mini as I’m trying to code and it uses poor logic.

How do I set it to favor “slow” premium requests?

Hey, what do you see in your recent usage?

I do not see this section under my account. Where do I find this view?

oh I see, I have “enable usage based pricing” disabled.

Do I need to have it enabled to get “slow” premium?

What we see is that the Anthropic/Sonnet API is not being called at all in agent mode, and that cursor-small is being called even though we should have unlimited free slow premium model requests.

No, you don’t need to enable this option to use slow requests. You need to switch it to view recent usage and determine which model you are using at the moment.

I am also a non-pro user and would like to know how to continue using cursor with slow requests. I do not wish to pay right now until i have clear understanding if app development is my thing at all.

So how do I get it to use “slow” requests? Instead of fast dumber requests?

This is slow.

On the free plan, there are no slow requests, you are only limited by the number of requests allocated to you per month.

I am a paid user. I have used my 500 and now am getting over 300 mini. Even though I have sonnet selected. I do not want to use the mini, I would prefer to wait for slow premium. How do I do that? The logic of the mini goes in circles.

Any update on this? Any Cursor staff here? This seems like a major bug and is basically false advertising. It is currently impossible to trigger a “slow premium” request using the “composer agent”.

In the same boat, payed as a Yearly user because of that Advertising - now it is a bit unlucky that this is going under the radar. The “unlimited slow requests” was actually why I decided for Cursor and not another competitor, now they just take it away without saying anything is disapointing :frowning:

There is an other thread about this saying it is because they cant sustain the cost for it, still hoping for some official Information on this topic.
