Why is gemini-2.5-pro-exp-03-25 considered a premium model?

According to Google, gemini-2.5-pro-exp-03-25 has 500 free requests per day without per token pricing for both input and output. Why does Cursor consider this model as premium model and consumes my fast request quota?

Use your own key, it’s free, gemini is only free for individuals, it’s not free for corporations like cursor.

How do i setup Cursor to use my own API keys? Is there a guide for this somewhere?

I have no idea where you are getting 500 free requests per day, gemini 2.5 pro’s free version is 25 requests per day.

Hey, you can find the details here:

Can I use Gemini Key+ tab feature as a PRO subscriber? Or do I have to choose? :confused:

They are looking at the ‘grounding with Google search’ offering 500 requests per day with the model and probably confused that with API calls.
