Hi @nyrulez ,

Below is a screenshot, when logged in, of the [https://www.cursor.com/settings](https://www.cursor.com/settings) page.

And here are some usage related tips:

- `gpt-4o-mini` is considered a non-premium model, so use that when possible to preserve your ‘fast-premium’ requests

- Remember that Pro subscribers currently receive an additional 10 ‘long-chat’ requests _per day_ for 6 different models (i.e a total of 60 per day), as specified when logged in on the [https://www.cursor.com/settings](https://www.cursor.com/settings) page - so ensure you are utilising those requests as well

If you click on the `Change # of Fast Requests` button you can increment the count by 500:

Just be aware of the dynamics involved in incrementing and decrementing that count, as discussed in this topic:

@pantaleone , sorry to hear you haven’t had a positive experience with the way requests are managed, i also blew through my first 500 requests very quickly when I first started, but now, following the tips above, I seem to make them last the full month.

In regard to the wait indicator, personally I liked that feature when it came out, before that there was no indicator and it _felt_ like the wait was a lot longer, because there was no visual indicator of what was happening.

> I am not sure if this feature is new, but it is the first time i have seen it. I am using 0.39.4 (downloaded from [cursor.com](https://www.cursor.com)). And even though I don’t like the fact that it is happening, the communication that it is, and the seconds counter, makes it a lot more bearable. I just accept it, and do something else for a moment. It’s also a good excuse to meditate for a few seconds slight_smile . [wait\_time\_indicator] \*the jim carrey gif frame was added in screenshot post production +1 Edi…

@short - we must have posted at the same time, hopefully the tips above can assist in your use cases as well.
