If I hit the Usage limit, it gives me an options either enable usage price based or Auto Mode. But the question is if I choose Auto mode. I cant use the grok model? Does the cursor have a reset usage limit? Just like how the Claude code works ---

If you hit the usage limit, it usually takes 5 to 24 hours for a small amount of it to reset. When you are using the ‘auto’, you will be switched to the default model, which is typically GPT-4.1. Good luck with it, though. ---

No more rate limits rests, they’ve changed the policy again. Once you hit the limit, you have to wait for it to reset or switch to AUTO (ChatGPT 3.5). ---

I think yes. I used Grok-4 in 4–5 prompts and hit a rate limit (I believe it’s a local rate limit?). They seem to reset the burst rate limit(old doc but same function 🙂 ) on the first day of each billing cycle. The Auto mode is terrible. So 500 → 225 requests(NOT EVEN 225, dont use claude-4). They changed the policies because the original ones weren’t properly designed. Originally, you were supposed to get 50% of the initial request quota each month. And instead of slowing down requests after reaching the limit, they now apply a local rate limit and calculate usage based on tokens. This is what I read. ---

Ive also been having issues > [@Non-hostile pricing discussion](https://forum.cursor.com/t/non-hostile-pricing-discussion/117107): > > [Screenshot 2025-07-12 231722] I don’t like complaining, but rolling windows for rate limits that allow you to consistently use Cursor for the duration of the month would have been nice, like a set limit on compute usage per hour or some other timeframe. Claude 4 Sonnets token counting system is completely busted, 2000000 tokens per request on average (in the usage dashboard) while opus uses 150000 or Gemini 400000 on THE SAME PROMPT (tried claude 4 sonnet on other platform and it also did not … ---
