Well shit, I've been on vacation, and I signed up with Cursor a month ago. Not allowed at work, but for side projects at home in an effort to "see what all the fuss is about".
So far, the experience was rock solid, but I assume when I get home that I'll be unpleasantly surprised.
Has anyone here had rate limiting hit them?
I’ve primarily use claude-4-sonnet in cursor and was surprised to see a message telling me it would start costing extra above and beyond my subscription. This was prolly after 100 queries or so. However, switching to “auto” instead of a specific model continues to not cost anything and that still uses claude-4-sonnet when it thinks it needs to. Main difference I’ve noticed is it’s actually faster because it’ll sometimes hit cheaper/dumber APIs to address simple code changes.
It’s a nice toy that does improve my productivity quite a bit and the $20/month is the right price for me, but I have no loyalty and will drop them without delay if it becomes unusable. That hasn’t happened yet.
"Prolly"
I mean yeah? I wasn’t counting in detail, it’s an estimate.
Previously you got 500 requests a month and then it’d start charging you, even on “auto.” So the current charging scheme seems to be encouraging auto use so they can use cheaper LLMs when they make sense (honestly a good thing).
I was questioning the use of the word "prolly"
Nah, you should find a new bone to pick.
it means "probably" 🤗
