Hello,
I am a Cursor AI Pro user, but after my premium subscription expired, I noticed a significant slowdown in slow requests day by day. Currently, even when I ask something as simple as the weather, it takes at least 5 minutes to process a slow request. Is there a solution to this issue?
I understand that premium requests are prioritized and faster, but slow requests should still work efficiently. Of course, I don’t expect them to be as fast as premium requests, but waiting 5 to 10 minutes for a single question doesn’t seem normal.
I am looking forward to assistance from the support team.
Yes, there is a serious slowdown when you use the system immediately after your package runs out. but after a few hours this slowdown goes away and returns to normal. there is a warning text that says that it only responds slowly, but do not pay attention to an unnecessary text. my limit is over, but I use it again as if I have premium, sometimes, as I said, it responds slowly again, but I do not wait for it, I turn it off, I turn it on after a few hours and I continue normally.
It seems that way, but if they don’t fix this, they’ll experience an incredible loss of users next month. Acting like 500 premium requests are such a great deal feels absurd to me. Those 500 requests are gone in 3–4 days, and the fact that slow requests take 5 to 10 minutes is almost comedic. I came here thinking I could write faster code, but waiting 5–10 minutes for every fix feels even more ridiculous. I hope they resolve this issue.
That hasn’t been the case for me. The incredible slowness has been ongoing for a week now. My internet is good—fiber connection—so it can’t be an issue on my end. It’s unbelievable that even when I ask a simple question, it takes 5–10 minutes. I contacted support, and for the past three days, they’ve been saying they’ll connect me with someone, but no one has emailed me yet.
The ai is so slow I can google and find my answer faster than the dumb ai. It literally takes over 1 minute to generate a simple answer. I hate this if this continues I’m just gonna switch to something else. I don’t have time to sit and wait FOR 1 or 2 MINUTESSSS. For an answer. It’s so slow like a snail.
At this point I’d rather pay for copilot. at least it answers in an instant. Man imagine paying for an ai that you have to wait 1 minute for.
No this is unacceptable. 3 whole minutes for a simple answer. I actually timed it this time.
Paying for more requests just isn’t the answer.
There must be a better solution out there somewhere. I run out of 500 requests so fast. And idk 1000 either isn’t enough. like $40 a month. That’s a lot.
I don’t understand why they can’t increase and make it faster when we literally are paying for it.
Or maybe I just don’t get it. I know ai is expensive so idk
Yeah. I go through 20 bucks of 500 requests EASILY in 2-3 days. I’m giving them by the end of this month, but yes, I’m already looking at other options. This expense makes AI much less appealing.
EDITED:
Tried R1 as it allegedly should have faster times. Slow requests are as slow as they are on Sonnet, so claim it should be faster is a fabrication.
My trick is to use GH Copilot for all my chat request and keep the cursor 500 fast query for the composer. That I cut down my usage by a lot. Copilot doesn’t seems to have any limit (at least I haven’t hit any yet) on 4o and Sonnet 3.5.
Wow. I guess you lot must use like 2-3K requests a month or something. I went over my 500 requests maybe a week ago? I’m halfway through my subscription and I don’t wait more than 20-30 secs for a response.
I guess you let the AI do everything and/or aren’t programmers?
