Option to force use slow requests + more fast requests plan

I would like to be able to choose if i want a request to be slow or fast, sometimes, i don’t mind using a slow request because i’m doing something else at the same time and the wait wouldn’t be noticeable. Otherwise, at the end of the month i’m always out of fast requests and having to wait for each and every request from that moment on really slows me down and i’m having to use different technologies to compensate.

That said, I wouldn’t mind paying more to have more fast requests per month plan, for ease of use i prefer simply raising that number from 500 than using a second account or per/use (which is a bit confusing at times).

Yes, I think you’re right, I’m not in a hurry sometimes, so I want to use slow requests instead of some things for me, but sometimes I need to work on some files quickly, and I can choose fast requests normally, I think, that’s right

Slow requests are actually intended to be a backup for when you run out of fast requests, rather than something to choose between. Instead of managing two different request types, I’d recommend checking out usage-based pricing at Pricing | Cursor - The AI Code Editor

You can enable it with two quick toggles and set a budget limit - this way you’ll always have fast requests available when you need them, and you’ll only pay for what you use beyond your included 500/month

This should be more straightforward than juggling between slow and fast requests or managing multiple accounts!

@Danperks go back use your eyes and see what he asked. You obviously didnt care to read it properly.
A little obnoxious for a developer.

Im sure you’ll find the ban or mute button pretty easily.

I did read the request, but as mentioned, the system was always intended to be a backup and not something you can turn on and off depending on what works best for the user.

The reason why I focused on the usage-based pricing feature is that the OP said:

Our usage-based pricing feature is intended exactly for this use, allowing you to pay only for what you use and nothing more!
