Usage stats gone from below prompt entry window

[Simon_S]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Next to the context usage indicator under the prompt entry text field, I used to have a display for how much of my monthly limits I have used.

It’s gone as of Version: 3.3.30 (Universal)
VSCode Version: 1.105.1

This isn’t something that’s nice for me to have or something that can maybe be hidden to up my usage; it’s an absolute must have. I’m very much hoping this wasn’t a deliberate decision to hide from people how much they are paying, and that this is a bug and that someone will help me restore it!

It’s absolutely critical for devs that we know how much we are spending without having to go multiple clicks.

TBH I’d have preferred much more info on this than less; having alerts after each prompt to let me know the usage in tokens and dollars from that prompt would be an option I’d love to have so I can tailor prompts to optimize spend.

Steps to Reproduce

In cursor, make a prompt. then look under the prompt text field. This is every prompt, every conversation, regardless. The screenshot is just one example but this always happens.

Expected Behavior

Next to the context usage report, a report on how much of my auto/api spend I have left for the month

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

I have this as well, on Windows 11. It’s present in the editor window but not in the agent window.

The usage bar is controlled by a setting called cursor.composer.usageSummaryDisplay, which defaults to auto. In auto mode, the bar only appears when your spend approaches your plan limit, so it stays hidden during normal usage. You can set it to Always in Settings (search for “usage summary display”) to make it permanently visible.

One thing to note: this currently works in the Editor chat panel. In the Agents window, the usage bar isn’t shown yet regardless of the setting. Our team is working on better usage visibility there. A related thread with the same report: (Agents Window) Where did the total usage indicator go?

You can also check your usage anytime at cursor.com/settings under Plan & Usage.

Hey all,

This should be available in the Agent Window again! Search for “Usage Summary” in your settings and select “Always”
