Yesterday I made this post about the violation of European consumer rights. After people started giving feedback on the matter, the team at Cursor hid the post from the feedback list and from search. The post is still accessible only if you have the direct link. Yet another thing that proves they are not transparent, and in fact are hiding things in order to censor feedback.
What’s the pricing costs? I used standard Claude 4 prompt, and it charged me $1.16.
It use to be 8 cents flat fee which was perfect and predictable. What’s going on here?
I just want the old predictable cost model, is this possible?
@Eldar, I noticed that too, but some users in the forum reported issues about switching back to the old model.
I’m wondering, for those who use company money to pay, how they justify the costs without something transparent. In some countries, you must justify the costs using documents, especially for those who receive European funds.
Now I’m afraid to enable “Enable Usage-Based Pricing” anymore, because I lack predictability. I can’t generate costs for the company that I can’t justify; the pricing information provided is ambiguous and creates confusion, and I don’t know exactly what to choose or how much I will pay.
I had the same issue until 10 min ago. You need to Opt out of the current pricing to go back to the legacy pricing where everything was predictable at 4 cents per request.
I’m fed up with this kind of rate limiting. I waited for several hours, and after finally managing to make 2 or 3 requests, I hit the rate limit again. Even Google Pro 2.5 has become incredibly dumb.I Choose to Opt out
I got a new Cursor update about an hour ago. Now it seems I’ve hit the limit — but it’s something new:
“You’ve hit the rate limit on this model.
Switch to a different model, upgrade to the Pro+ plan for 3× higher limits on Claude / Gemini / OpenAI models, or set a Spend Limit for requests over your rate limit.”
Can someone tell me where I can see my limits? Where are they shown? What is the limit for each model, and how is it calculated?
I’m very confused.
I want transparency so I have the ability to make the best decisions for my projects. Your recommendation is proof that lack of transparency leads to inefficient projects.
