I dialed up my fast requests manually earlier this month because slow requests started appearing to be a lot slower then when I first started using Cursor.
After a while, I rang up about 3,269 fast requests. I didn’t know if my account was going to be charged for the same capacity next month because it’s not clear on the page how the billing works so I dialed it back down because I’m almost finished my project.
I thought I would still have the extra credits to burn through but then I got back into the slow requests queue and it seemed even slower than before-- I was waiting for around 2-4 minutes for a response.
But I couldn’t go back to raise fast requests (see screenshot).
So then I enabled usage-based pricing and added my Anthropic Key to the project. It showed I used $0.00/$50 limit on the dashboard, but then Cursor showed me that I hit the limit with my API key.
Cursor has been a coding juggernaut for me for the past several months and unfortunately, I’m now at almost a pause and slow crawl with it. I had to revert back to disabled usage-based pricing too.
How can I resolve this?
p.s. Thank you so much for this wonderful tool! I’ve recently explored W1ndsurf and, while I feel it’s more affordable and does some things really well, Cursor still is a lot more intelligent in how it does many things, and faster too, especially with more context.
p.p.s. Wow, I can’t have the word “W1ndsurf” in my post? I think you guys can do a little better with that. It can be helpful to compare things that other tools do well so you have a model to follow. Banning a term like that seems unintellectual.
