The usage limits seem to be applied inconsistently or unpredictably

After testing Cursor for three days, I’m still unclear about how the pricing works in the Pro plan. I don’t see any information regarding usage limits or quotas.

You are projected to reach your usage limits by 7/12/2025 based on your current usage. Consider switching to Auto for more requests, asking for smaller changes, or enabling pay-as-you-go to avoid interruptions until your cycle resets on 8/8/2025.

Yes people are running out of usage 1/3 of the way into their cycle. Looks to be a pretty bad situation.

I also have absolutely no clue how the new pricing for pro works.
I ran into the usage limit issue today, after picking up from where I left off two days ago. I’ve just seen in their apology blog post regarding pricing (Clarifying Our Pricing | Cursor - The AI Code Editor) that $20 is the limit and depending on the model, you have different costs associated. Where is the transparency on this? The usage history just says “included” for the costs, so maybe you should change this to “$X.XXX (included in subscription)” or whatever so we can at least see what the individual models cost and if this adds up to the $20.

Pricing is still so intransparent that it feels like you get rigged off, especially with the one-year subscription I purchased. Now different limits apply that I haven’t signed up for.

Here the message that i received when i sent e email to support…

“The Pro plan includes unlimited usage of the Auto model and tab completions, plus a monthly usage budget of $20 for other models (calculated at API prices). Based on median usage, this typically covers around 225 Sonnet 4 requests, 550 Gemini requests, or 650 GPT 4.1 requests per month.”

I also thought that the plan pro is unimited, but i just if you select auto model… if you are using a specific model, as iwas using claude 4, there is a limited budget of 20USD

I got “You’ve saved $76 on API model usage this month with Pro. Switch to Auto for more requests or set a Spend Limit to continue with Sonnet. Your usage limits will reset when your monthly cycle ends on 7/24/2025.” how it works?
