Pricing: Is Auto Free?

Do the “free” model take credit in the billing usage? How much usage do I have remaining if some models are free, but I don’t see which ones on the billing side:

For auto it still shows a cost which is fine, but does that eat away at the total?

for Pro/Ultra, why use auto if you have “unlimited” before using token allotment on other models first?

Hard to tell which tokens are true deductions from the allotment. Some models are free for a limited time and some aren’t.

Would be good to see that separated.

Thanks

The same issue.

Follow up here:
Cursor is suggesting using “Auto” but on the billing page, Auto does cost.

Is Auto “Free” at any time or only free after I’ve exhausted my Ultra plan’s credits?

I assume the cost is trying to display the “value” of the tokens that it’s processing, which is fine, but it seems to account to the total allotment.

I’m using Auto early in the billing cycle to save pre-paid tokens, but if it is using them BEFORE I run out, then there is no point in using Auto until I absolutely run out of pre-paid tokens.

Thanks!

Auto isn’t free if you haven’t purchased an annual subscription before September 15, 2025.

Grok Code Fast is free for now (God bless the Elon)

ahhh I must have missed that part….

It still suggests Auto for “more usage”.

I wonder what they mean by that.

Theoretically, under Auto, you can get a higher-level model than Auto is worth. Practically, I don’t use it.
