HI All! 😃

I spent the entire day, yesterday, familiarizing myself with Cursor (and becoming re-acquainted with VS Code,) so I got a great ‘snapshot’ of what I can expect – at least early on – re my usage vs the credits provided with my Pro plan. [142/500] As I was examining the data this morning, I realized that Cursor had actually consumed 20 “fastApply” interactions simply by my launching the program this morning:

```

Ironically, the only reason I launched the program this morning was to look for this data. 🙂

Is the lesson to be learned from this “Be sure to close your work before terminating Cursor”?

Thx!
