Cursor removed cost information from the usage page and CSV export
Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.
Cursor removed dollar amounts from its usage page, replacing them with token counts, and users are angry.
Cursor users report the usage page now shows token amounts instead of dollar figures for individual plans, making budget tracking difficult. Cursor employee kevinn confirmed the change is deliberate, citing confusion from dollar amounts that exceeded plan costs due to included usage. Enterprise plans retain dollar amounts. Users can find spending data on the Dashboard > Spending page or via CSV export, which shows dollar costs only for on-demand usage beyond included amounts. Multiple users on Teams plans with significant spend (e.g., $30K/month) say per-user and per-model tracking is now impossible.
Many commenters consider the change a transparency issue, especially for teams sharing on-demand usage caps. Others question Cursor's overall value versus alternatives like Claude Code, Codex, or Zed.
What commenters are saying
Many commenters express frustration with Cursor's direction and cost. Several former power users (dating back to 2023) have switched to Claude Code, Codex, or Zed, citing Cursor's increasing bugginess, cost, and push toward agentic features at the expense of IDE functionality. Some defend Cursor for its integrated experience, superior Tab autocomplete, and multi-model flexibility. A common critique: Cursor removes control from the user, hiding costs while making the editor feel less like a traditional IDE.
