Cursor users are unsure how to stop extra usage charges

r/cursorJul 2, 2026 · 11d ago

A Cursor account was set up with the monthly limit disabled because that looked like a way to block any usage beyond the , but unexpected fees still appeared. The setting does not clearly communicate whether disabling the limit stops extra usage or simply changes how the spending cap works.

Similar confusion shows up across Cursor billing. Bugbot reviews do not make it obvious whether they are charged like API usage or like Auto and Composer usage.

Some users see certain options appear free, while others see Pro usage meters stay at 100% even after regular work, making it unclear whether usage is truly included or just not being shown correctly. Other account problems add to the concern, including Pro+ accounts reverting to Free, failed Pro purchases in India, ignored cancellation attempts, renewal charges, and difficulty removing a saved card.

Key points

  • Disabling a monthly limit may not mean extra usage charges are fully blocked.
  • Cursor users are unsure how Bugbot, Auto, Composer, and some s are billed.
  • Usage meters can look unchanged even while the tool is being used, which makes cost tracking harder.
  • Some account issues involve plan downgrades, failed purchases, renewals after cancellation, and saved-card removal.
  • s should confirm spending caps and billing rules before relying on expensive AI coding features.
