Up until a few days ago, I could see per request costs alongside token usage
on the Usage tab of the Cursor dashboard (https://cursor.com/dashboard?tab=usage).
Now it only shows Token usage and in the Cost column, it just says “Included” for every request - there is no cost value shown.
I’m an Admin member of a Teams plan. Other members of the team say they can see the per request costs, but I can’t.
I’m using Safari on MacOs (have also tried Chrome and Atlas)
Hey, this actually looks like expected behavior. On Teams plans, each member gets some included usage, and as long as you’re within that quota, requests show up as “Included” in the Cost column because they’re covered by the subscription.
Your teammates who see real dollar amounts have most likely already gone over their included usage, so their requests are billed as on-demand usage.
A couple things to check:
Go to Settings > Usage-Based Pricing in the dashboard. Is it enabled for the team? What spend limit is set?
Check if the billing cycle recently reset. If you used to see charges, that could’ve been on-demand usage from the previous cycle.
The Cumulative Total at the top should show your total usage cost in USD, even for included requests. If you don’t see that either, let me know.
I think you’re right about this being related to Teams plan features. Although, it doesn’t seem to work quite as you described, and as a Teams plan user, its not ideal behaviour.
Usage based pricing is enabled for our team, but no On-Demand Usage has been consumed by the team yet.
Our billing cycle isn’t due to reset until Feb 24th - so it wasn’t a reset that caused a change in behaviour (or ability to view costs)
Teams plan users get a “Free Usage” amount after using up the included usage. The tool tip for the column says:
”Free Usage is additional usage beyond your plan that is totally free.”
I can’t be sure about the behaviour (as I’m the only user in my team in this scenario), but it appears as though users who reach $20 on the Free Usage column (at which point it just displays $20+) can no longer see real dollar amounts for requests on the usage tab. Even requests which previously showed dollar values no longer show them. Before reaching $20+, I could see the real dollar values.
It’s not ideal, because the real dollar values are essential feedback for understanding the efficiency and effectiveness of models and prompts - regardless of the costs being included or the free usage amount.
https://cursor.com/dashboard?tab=usage used to show costs. Now I just see “Included” and a token count. I can calculate or guess the cost from the token count, but it’d be way more helpful to just show it.
I think the cursor maintainers should understand one thing. You don’t have one client; you have thousands of different clients with different needs. Instead of modifying something and assuming everyone has the same need, why not simply allow the option to switch (a choice)? And if that was intended only for the Teams plan, I was affected in the Ultra plan.
