I’m interested in the pay-as-you-go option for Cursor: - Is pay-as-you-go available for Claude Sonnet models? - Would this allow me to exceed the monthly request limit while maintaining access to all Cursor features? From the documentation it appears that the optional usage pricing is only for Claude Opus model? ---

Here are the usage-based pricing rates for models. You can only exceed your request limit on these specific models, this doesn’t apply to models like GPT-4, GPT-4o, and Claude 3.5 Sonnet. All other features will work as usual. Additionally, if you need more requests, you can add them to your plan. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/2X/1/1682d2516b42cd6c5a11e8b93a3ded01e06a0b12.png) ---

thank you for this, much appreciated. So I’m I right to assume that composer is not covered in pay as you go? ---

No, Composer will still work even if you’re using models under the usage-based pricing plan, however, this currently includes only a few models—o1-preview, o1-mini, claude-3-opus, and the premium subscription models. Other models aren’t available yet. ---
