Hey everyone,
I’ve been using Cursor with the $20/month plan, and honestly, I’m getting more and more disappointed. The fast tokens run out incredibly quickly when using MAX or Claude 4 models. After that, the so-called “slow mode” becomes painfully sluggish — almost unusable for real productivity.
I also tried to continue using MAX models with extra payments, but the way tokens are counted (based on token size instead of complete prompts) makes it feel unpredictable and unfair. It burns through them way too fast.
This kind of experience is pushing me — and probably others — to look for better alternatives. Cursor has a lot of potential, but these limitations are making it hard to rely on.
Anyone else experiencing this? Or maybe someone from the team can clarify or comment?
