Please clarify Cursor Pricing Pro Plan, does it has unlimited auto mode messages allowed or is there any limit?

Hello, could someone please clarify the message limits for the Cursor Pro Plan?

According to the documentation, the pricing page mentions approximate limits based on usage data:

Pro: ~225 Sonnet 4.5 requests, ~550 Gemini requests, or ~500 GPT-5 requests

Pro+: ~675 Sonnet 4.5 requests, ~1,650 Gemini requests, or ~1,500 GPT-5 requests

Ultra: ~4,500 Sonnet 4.5 requests, ~11,000 Gemini requests, or ~10,000 GPT-5 requests

Does this mean that after sending around 200–300 messages in Cursor, I would hit the limit and need to upgrade my subscription? I also read that daily Agent users typically need to spend around $60–$100/month in total usage so does this confirm that we need to then upgrade it?

However, I have also read in some places that the Pro Plan offers unlimited messages in Auto mode. Does that mean we can still use Auto mode even after reaching the request limits for specific models?

I am quite confused about how this works and would really appreciate clarification before subscribing. Thank you!

Auto Mode is no longer unlimited on any plan unless grandfathered into it.

I was using Cursor Pro last year which they offered unlimited prompts, but I stopped programming for a while and started again, does this mean Cursor would still offer unlimited prompts or not?

Unlimited Auto is only for annual subscriptions that were started before September 15th. However, gpt-5-mini is unofficially unlimited for subscribed users (from my experience).
