Pricing is suddenly SNAFU today - what's changed? going on?

I did “Opt Out” because I liked the old way and understood it, which was working great right up to yesterday. Today however, I’ve hit a new block I’ve never seen before - “Usage-based pricing is required” - where normally it would just take a minute or two to “just work” - which is the “unlimited” plan I purchased in the first place. I am not a heavy user - maybe 1 request every 5 mins is the highest rate I go… what’s changed? @Cursor - can you please revert the system back to the way it worked when we purchased our subscription and paid up-front for a whole year, for those of us who have selected “Opt Out” ?

So what they didn’t explicitly tell us, is that slow requests in Old Pro Plan are gone.

Imagine writing three announcements, latest even with CLARIFY in the title, but still opt to not properly clarify things for some reason.

I have the same problem!
The current cursor billing rules are s-h·i~t.
F-U=C……K!
Since the end of June, the billing rules of cursor have been unpredictable. I even received unknown bills. I communicated with them by email, but they only gave me official robot-like replies without carefully checking my account and bills.

I notice another annoying problem - with “usage based” turned off, it works as expected (see 1st entry below), but with “usage based” turned on, I am being billed for each “Included in Pro” request (see Jul 7, 12:58 PM) that I make, which I do not get billed for (and they still work) when I turn that back off again.

Grrrr!

And what’s with all the “-” for tokens in “Opt Out” mode?
