Hey, sorry to hear you’ve had a poor experience!

While many people have reported a solid improvement with Max mode, we still hope to refine and improve on it as users test it out.

If you can, grabbing a request ID for this would be super helpful!

However, regarding the cost, please see what I wrote in the main thread below:

> [@Max Mode for Claude 3.7 - Out Now!](https://forum.cursor.com/t/max-mode-for-claude-3-7-out-now/65698/1):
>
> It is a ‘no expense spared’ feature and, as such, comes with intelligence and capabilities no other model has. **However** , the mode is expensive (see below) and is likely not worth the cost for the majority of users.
> 
> This model is our best choice for implementing large and complex projects all at once or for completing intricate code edits that require a deep understanding of their functionality to maintain them.

> But for standard code edits, Cursor’s agent is still the most cost-effective solution and would be more than enough for \>90% of all the prompts Cursor sees.

> We only recommend this model to those who can afford to test its capabilities without concern about the cost and will make use of its additional intelligence.
