All this and gone in 1 day, what’s the point of new pricing system? not even max mode, and all it was doing was fixing unit tests. Is there a way to still opt for 500 requests per month?
hi @umerqr
Cursor does not track requests but token and model usage which depends on details reported by AI providers through API.
Your screenshot shows high token consumption.
This may mean
- Very heavy coding usage
- Large context used
Recommendations
- Use thinking models only when there is a clear requirement to use them as they do not have much higher quality output than non-thinking models, but consume much more tokens.
- Check and avoid attaching too much context like files, rules, MCPs,…
- Keep chats focused on single tasks and short.

Hi,
I have had same usage patterns before as well, when the plan was at 500 requests, and then went on to unlimited and now to this new tier system. Is there a way to revert to 500 premium requests or is that expired? This is a big turn off as claude code can do so much more than cursor with these new changes in. at least with older format it could compete against claude code.
