I’m a Pro plan subscriber and have recently noticed that my access to premium models is quite limited and gets consumed very quickly, usually lasting no more than two weeks. I believe this change started after the most recent pricing plan update. The “Auto” mode is supposed to select the appropriate premium model based on the prompt, but we have no way of knowing which model is being used, which makes it difficult to manage usage.
hi @Johan_Bujari and welcome to Cursor Forum.
Thank you for your post, please have a look at following post that I wrote explaining how tokens impact your usage and what you can do to preserve it more.
Yes, the token consumption speed of sonnet4 is astonishing right now. I used up the $20 credit with fewer than 100 requests (around 70 to 80). The key point is that I wasn’t even using MAX mode, and I rarely used thinking mode either.
hi @zhaiyy and thank you for the feedback.
Could you check the link I posted in my previous response. It explains well how context usage affects token consumption.
Other users noted in the Forum that this is not Sonnet 4 specific but has also to do with included rules, enabled MCPs, and other factors that impact context.
