You are projected to reach your usage limits by

You are projected to reach your usage limits by 7/31/2025 based on your current usage. Consider switching to Auto for more requests, asking for smaller changes, or enabling pay-as-you-go to avoid interruptions until your cycle resets on 8/2/2025.

I’m confused by this - I though we got unlimited requests (instead of 500) in the new pricing scheme, we’re just throttled? If there’s still a limit, what is the limit?

I burned thru mine in 3 days. The end result after that, Broken application! Wait till you actually hit the limit, your gonna love to see the “Look how much you saved”! Let me know if that dollar amount is anywhere close to what your willing to pay for the actual results produced LOL

When you get to that limit (that nobody can figure out) your gonna be stuck with Auto mode which is no more than an angry kindergartener with a gun to your head asking for your wallet. Auto mode produces no usable results! It generates code off the bat that doesnt work, you test it, tell it how to fix, it breaks something else while NOT fixing the issue. OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL YOU GIVE UP!

Lol “unlimited requests”. * Pro: ~225 Sonnet 4 requests, ~550 Gemini requests, or ~650 GPT 4.1 requests as in their docs… Not even close of what was months ago. I was on holidays for 2 weeks, when I came back was not even enough for the other 2 weeks.

And yes, Auto destroy more code than helps, so I would stay away.

The last time I used the cursor was on July 1, now I’m going back to work, but I can’t use the cursor until the limit expires, so the subscription I bought became useless, and when did this happen?

Did I waste my money? and if it’s not for nothing, then I can only use the cursor for 3 days per month of active work?
(I’ve read that many people are suffering so much now)

Yep this is being a waste of money. Happened the same with me when I came back from holidays. At work they changed to Windsurf. And I’m trying Kiro, Copilot, Trae. As I forgot to cancel my sub two days ago, so I have this month to decide and cancel.

Besides that is a completely waste of money, you are left with Auto, that I don’t even know what to say…well it’s a joke

If you plan well and write good prompts, auto mode works great for most tasks (in my experience).

One day, really?

It was good while it lasted, but it became unfeasible to continue with this service.

I have had a very different experience at work on our team plan. We’re still on the old plan, were never moved, and have seen consistent and fair usage calculations.

For work, Cursor has been AWESOME.

For my personal Pro plan, it’s really been a rollercoaster.

Can someone from the Cursor team address this?

I noticed the same. My work Cursor account is part of business team and it’s still on the old plan, things are great.

My personal one is on the new plan. Fortunately my only spike in usage was a single chat (not even that long) with o3 which racked up costs quickly. Other than that it has been fine, although I should stress I’m not a heavy user and I have been trying to rely more on auto mode.

Me too,less than two days.what a ■■■■!

In old days, I am with $20 Pro account, and cannot event finished the 500 requests, this month, I upgraded to $60 Pro+, and after around 10 days, there’s $50 spent and warn me about usage limits already.

I have already moved to Claude Code Max, if we need to pay $200, why just simply goto CC? But I might stay with cursor around $20 per month. For daily tab tasks.

A similar situation. I had to switch from 20 to 60, and a few days later to 200. I thought that would be enough. But no, I still get notifications that the limit is almost reached.

hi @neurofuzzy and thank you for your post. Sorry that I did not get around yet to answer your post.

The new plans are by token and model consumption, we do not count requests.

You can see in Dashboard > Usage your Included Usage Summary and how many tokens were used with each model.

More information about token usage and how to optimize it:

Thanks for the reply @condor . I guess I am confused because that’s neither the plan I originally signed up for, nor the plan I switched to in “the new pricing model” - this is yet a third plan.

How can I get back onto the plan I signed onto when I paid for a year? It’s the plan my company is currently on, and works fabulously.

Cursor should consider grandfathering in users who signed up under those terms as it’s not just good customer service, it may also be a legal requirement.

Thanks again!

It’s supposedly unlimited, but we’re forced to use auto for some unknown reason, and modules like Sonnet 4 reach their limit in a week, which is very interesting. Isn’t it very creative to decreasing the limits instead of raising the price?

@neurofuzzy please contact [email protected] if you are on an annual plan as they handle billing related requests.

in some countries, it not only MAY be a legal requirement but is straight up illegal to change two-sided contracts like cursor did.
