Cursor added $100 in credits after a user ran out mid-project
A large app migration was already near the finish line when credits ran out. The work involved moving an entire from Next.js to Nuxt, and it was about 90% complete when the final 30% of credits were used up. The next day, Cursor emailed that it had added $100 in credits so the work could be finished.
This suggests Cursor may watch for signals such as heavy use, unfinished work, or churn risk and then offer extra credits. The exact reason is not confirmed, so it is unclear whether this was about valuable , customer retention, or another internal rule.
