Unable to use "slow premium requests" on a Pro Trial?

Discussion
1

Hi there,

I am on a Pro Trial plan and I used my limit of “fast premium requests” (150 out of 150) in 2 days of my 2 week trial. Now I would like to use “Unlimited slow premium requests” as described for the Pro plan on cursor’s Pricing page. However, if I select any “premium” model (Sonnet 3.5, Sonnet 3.7, gpt-4o"), I’m getting the error “Please upgrade to Pro to continue”.

I have searched this forum and found a lot of topics about slow premium requests temporarily not working, or being too slow, or slow requests used instead of fast requests, but after reading all of this stuff I still don’t understand, is it at all possible to use slow requests on a Trial Pro plan?

Thanks.

Thanks for reaching out! Just to clarify - slow premium requests aren’t currently available during the Pro Trial period. The trial includes 150 fast premium requests as mentioned at Cursor – Plans & Usage

To continue using premium models, you would need to upgrade to a full Pro subscription which includes:

  • 500 fast premium requests per month
  • Unlimited slow premium requests
  • All other Pro features

I know this might be a bit frustrating, but the trial is meant to give you a taste of the premium features while ensuring the best experience for our paid users

Hello @danperks,

Thanks for your reply!

I have one more question: if I upgrade to Pro, will I be really able to use “slow premium requests” when I use up the limit of 500 fast premium requests? After searching the forum, I found quite a few topics of Pro users with monthly/yearly subscriptions complaining about slow requests not working and being forced to pay per usage and spend more money. Some of those users even wrote that they canceled their subscription because of this issue and opted for other AI coding tools.

Thanks.

P.S. Just to clarify, I’m specifically interested in using slow premium requests to the Claude Sonnet models, and the topics I had found were about Claude Sonnet not being able to sustain slow requests due to reaching their technical capacities. After reading those topics, it remains unclear to me if the issue was resolved or using “unlimited slow premium requests” is still impossible.

I am also interested in this question, I do not understand how to use your system after reaching the limit. Please explain everything or send a link to the instructions

Any news about Alipay or WeChat Pay? many people choose trial accounts largely due to payment difficulties, they are willing to spend the same amount of money to buy a “unlimited trial” registry!

You can even disregard auto-renewal for the time being, provide an official collection code, and contact the email address after the payment is completed

they simply wanted you to pay. “slow premium requests” they’ll only allow for 2-class models. “technical capacities” what an irony.

try opening a virt credit card.

We are working with AliPay and Stripe to get approval as we speak, so I’d expect this to be possible soon!

For anyone who wants to know, yes, you can continue to use Sonnet 3.5 and 3.7 while on slow requests if you’re not in trial and have an active subscriptions. Slow requests can be very slow at times, but for the most part, they are manageable.

I use Cursor for about 12+ hours a day, 7 days a week, and I’m solely using Sonnet 3.7 Thinking.

It’s worth the cost, very much so. Cursor is offering a crazy good deal here.
