### Describe the Bug

After the first query of the day (Sonnet Max): “You have used 90% of your included usage. Consider enabling pay-as-you-go or switch to Auto for unlimited requests to avoid interruptions.”

Now we need to be clear. What is my included usage??

### Steps to Reproduce

Use the latest Cursor version as of today, enter the prompt, wait a minute, get the warning, wonder what exactly it means.

### Expected Behavior

Transparently tell me this is my daily/monthly/session usage.

### Operating System

MacOS

### Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

From docs:

### Expected usage within limits

Expected usage within limits for the **median user** per month:

- **Pro** : ~225 Sonnet 4 requests, ~550 Gemini requests, or ~650 GPT 4.1 requests
- **Pro+** : ~675 Sonnet 4 requests, ~1,650 Gemini requests, or ~1,950 GPT 4.1 requests
- **Ultra** : ~4,500 Sonnet 4 requests, ~11,000 Gemini requests, or ~13,000 GPT 4.1 requests

Models like Opus 4 consume more tokens per request and reach rate limits faster than other models.
