Teams with on-demand OFF — free requests after both pools hit 100%?

Hi Cursor team,

I’m on a Teams plan, and on-demand usage is turned OFF for our team.

Before the recent pricing/usage update (two usage pools), after I used up my included usage I could still keep requesting in a free / slow mode (no additional cost), without enabling on-demand.

With the new model, each seat now shows two pools:

  1. Cursor Models
  2. Other Models

My question: With on-demand OFF, if I reach 100% on both pools, can I still make requests at free cost like before (slow pool / free fallback)? Or will requests be fully blocked until the next billing cycle / until we enable on-demand or upgrade?

I just want to confirm the expected behavior for Teams + on-demand disabled.

Thanks!

Sounds like a cool bug, how many tokens did you get up to?

Hey, thanks for the request.

Officially, once both pools Cursor Models and Other Models hit 100% and on-demand is off, there’s no guaranteed free usage left. The documented behavior is that to keep going you need to either turn on on-demand, upgrade, or wait for the reset in the next billing cycle. So I wouldn’t count on getting anything for free after you hit the limit.

If you expect to hit the limits regularly, it’s worth enabling on-demand with a team spend limit so you can control costs and avoid getting hard-blocked.

Let me know if you want help setting up the limits.

follow this ticket, they said it’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused. However, it is my duty to clarify the policies for my team members so that our work and implementation plans are not impacted.
