Minor rant… I get that Team Cursor is presumably still working on the pricing model as things continue to grow. But if you’re going to do the whole fast/slow requests thing (especially the 10-long per day part) you really gotta have it work every time.
I’m paying for 1000 fast req/mo on Pro. I don’t make any money with what I code, so it’s all out of my own pocket. I see the value in it, but it’s not a cheap proposition and I really have to budget for Cursor use.
So I’m sure you can imagine the frustration of asking a question that the AI gets wrong several times in a row, re-asking without a satisfactory reply and hitting the entire limit for the day without resolving something adequately. Not to worry, slow queue right? Within a few attempts, 320 seconds wait for the message to be processed… watching the countdown in pain… and then getting “Connection Failed”. Retrying, and being told you have to wait another 320 seconds for the next roll of the dice.
That doesn’t feel very pro. It certainly doesn’t motivate me to flip the switch to be charged extra for the chance of more failed requests.

I’m sure this message will also disappear into the noise, there seems to be a lot of community posting on here of late but vanishingly few staff replies at the moment. That’s not great either. I’m sure you’re very busy, but still. If you do at least read this, please take these kinds of negative experiences into account when you’re figuring out your charging structure and designing the user experience. Thanks.
