While I really like the old pricing system I indeed feel like I could benefit from the new system based on limit rate.
The raise is price is however a bit steep.
The previous implementation based on request was great for the limitations because you could pay 3 membership and have 3 times the limit.
Could it be possible to have something alike implemented here but based on limit rate ? Meaning paying 40-60$ would lead you to having 2-3 times the rate limit.
Or maybe a 80-100$ membership allowing more user to feel unlimited without paying the 200$ which might be overkilled for some.
Thank you still to take into consideration any user element and allowing everyone to opt-in or out for every new elements, this is really appreciated !!!
I have been a long-time Pro Plan user and appreciate the excellent support and features you provide at $20/month. However, as my usage patterns have evolved, I often find myself waiting during longer code generations, unit test runs, or training tasks. During these waiting periods, I would like to start a second parallel coding task, but opening another Cursor window quickly bumps against the existing rate limits on the Pro Plan.
Use Case:
Writing code: code completion for complex functions often consumes significant rate-limited requests.
Running unit tests or training scripts: Cursor usage remains active but less interactive, leading to idle time.
Parallel workflow: Being able to work on a second coding task in another window without hitting rate limits would greatly improve productivity.
Proposal: Please consider introducing intermediate plan tiers with 2×, 5×, and 10× the Pro Plan rate limits, priced accordingly (e.g., $40, $100, $200/month). This would allow users like me to:
Maintain smooth, uninterrupted workflows across multiple tasks.
Reduce context switches and waiting times.
Avoid the need to purchase a second Pro account or switch to alternative tools.
I believe such flexible ramp-up tiers would bridge the gap between the current Pro and Ultra plans, making it easier for power users to scale usage without paying the full Ultra price immediately. Thank you for considering this feature!
@huangyingw As i’m not internal to Cursor Team, they would have to announce any new plans. There was no news so far about changes.
From Dan’s post at launch of new plans there was no plan for intermediate pricing at that time. A user asked there also about 100 USD plan and Dan mentioned that this is currently achievable using 20 USD Pro plan with a 80 USD Usage Based Pricing limit set.
From my own usage of the Pro plan (my personal account), I have been using in last days 3-4hrs Claude 4 Sonnet Thinking Max with no files/rules/… attached and a 2 line prompt without reaching the rate limit. In fact I haven’t reached any rate limit yet at all.
The previous plan didnt allow for multiple memberships that was an early option which was discontinued as it wasnt really beneficial to users. With the old plan you could use 500 fast requests for 20 USD and then with usage based pricing use more fast requests as you need, but without having to buy blocks of 500 requests.
I would say the most important part is avoiding to unnecessarily add files and other items to Agent as it pulls the context it really needs by itself. Any unnecessarily attachments added are mostly consuming resources and therefore faster getting to a rate limit.
should make it easier for future readers
