I don’t want to use subagents anymore how do I deactivate the subagents or roll down the version where there’s none? so it doesn’t go haywire or consume all my credits @deanrie @Ben_Li

Yeah, I was OOO today but did try with 2 requests and so far no issues. I am not sure what the long term issues will be but for now - I am not maxxing out my tokens so fast without Cursor giving us clarity on their new system.

@mike6 no one is being silenced for expressing frustration about subagents or usage concerns. That topic is completely valid, and this very thread is proof – it’s been up since you posted it and has received multiple helpful responses. Threads get unlisted on this forum for two reasons: Billing…

Hey, right now there isn’t a separate toggle in Settings to fully disable the built-in subagents. But there’s a working workaround. Add a User Rule: Cursor Settings > General > Rules for AI - add: Never use subagents. Do not launch any sub-agents for any task. This is what @jes and @99power sugge…

@deanrie please guide on how to go back to old pricing where it doesn’t charge for every single minute, if it wan’t to take 0.08$ fine if its 0.16$ fine, even if its 0.32 or 0.50$ fine, but not like this, its charging for every single minute… Please have mercy on us as well… We cannot tolerate this …

They have given clarity: https://cursor.com/docs/subagents Also do these subagent request have significant charges? Most of mine are like Composer 2 or something and very small compared to the main agent charge. Like what @Artemonim said, I assume built-in subagents are actually saving you money…

[image] mike: [image] @deanrie Maybe Cursor team could add “(subagent)” or something to requests that are subagents or maybe indent them underneath the main agent that called them, and make it collapsible. @mike6 is right, this is very confusing to read all of these requests and it is fair…

[image] Mohit: Community I’m not using any subagents now @deanrie as you can see as well, but still its charging I have work to do and now I’m stuck [image] [image]

In the chat window when you submit the request, it should say if its using subagents. Does it? [image] Then when done: [image] However, there is no way to discern which request is the subagent and which is the main agent. I do think this is an issue when trying to track costs. (mine happen t…

@deanrie @mohitjain You guys are very honest and transparent right? why am I being charged 20$+ to just make a single page for blogs and fix any errors??? Guys seriously common. you are blaming others and now here you are doing the work that’s causing frustration of others… Total: $3.30 Adding all…

Stop using Opus. I bet most of those requests (which you appear to be firing off as fast as you can type) could probably get away with using gpt-5 mini, which is effectively free (last I checked). Use the free or cheaper models and only if they are failing use Opus (but really I would try GPT 5.4 …
