Cursor

Cursor usage limits

Cursor's plans changed. New plans have one usage pool that refreshes weekly, shared with Grok Bot and the Grok apps. Legacy plans keep monthly pools.

The short answer

On Cursor's current plans (Free, Plus $8, Premium $30, Super $100, Ultra $200), each paid plan has one pool of usage for Cursor models that refreshes weekly, shared across the editor, CLI, Cloud Agents, Grok Bot, and the Grok apps. Legacy plans (Hobby, Pro, Pro+, Ultra, Teams) have two monthly pools that reset with your billing cycle. Check usage at grok.com/dashboard or in your editor settings.

If you're on a legacy plan

Hobby, Pro ($20), Pro+ ($60), Ultra ($200), and the old Teams plans ($40 and $120 per user) are now legacy. They have two monthly pools, Cursor models and other models, that reset with your billing cycle. On Pro, Pro+, and Ultra, on-demand usage is off until you turn it on under Spending at cursor.com/dashboard/spending, where you can set a monthly spend limit; on Teams it's on by default. On Hobby, AI features pause until the pool resets.

What "Auto" means for your limit

On individual plans, Auto runs in Cost mode: it bills as a Cursor-model request and draws from your weekly pool, whichever model serves it.

Will you make it to the reset?

Fuel Gauge forecasts whether your usage lasts until the reset. On Grok Bot it reads the weekly usage Grok Bot saves on your Mac; for Cursor it can ask cursor.com with the Cursor app's own sign-in, which is off until you turn it on.

Questions

Does Cursor have a weekly limit?

On the current plans, yes: one pool of usage for Cursor models that refreshes weekly. Legacy plans reset monthly with your billing cycle.

What happens when I run out of Cursor usage?

Wait for the weekly reset, use prepaid credit, or upgrade. Cursor says requests are never downgraded in quality or speed.

Where do I see my Cursor usage?

Usage at grok.com/dashboard shows how much of your weekly pool you've used, the next reset, and your prepaid credit. Your editor settings show the same.

Does Cursor usage roll over?

No. Unused included usage doesn't roll over on either kind of plan. Prepaid credit lasts 365 days.

Know if you'll make it to reset.
