newest firstCursor doubles usage limits outright on every individual and team plan. The new limits apply to Grok, Composer and any Cursor in-house models added later.
https://x.com/cursor_ai/status/2079615536963485815Cursor raises usage for every Teams user and introduces a Premium team seat — 5x the usage at 3x the price, modelled on the Ultra plan. At the same time, usage on the standard Teams seat splits into two pools: in-house models (Composer / Auto) and third-party APIs (Claude, GPT, Gemini and so on). It takes effect immediately for new customers and from 1 July for renewals. Cursor estimates costs will drop for nine out of ten teams.
https://x.com/cursor_ai/status/2061550723503194426Cursor publicly apologises for the June pricing change, offers refunds for unexpected charges incurred between 16 June and 4 July 2025, and commits to communicating pricing better.
https://cursor.com/blog/june-2025-pricingCursor overhauls its pricing: Pro's "500 fast requests a month" is gone, replaced by a usage pool tied to actual API cost. Pro gets $20 of credit — at Claude Opus prices back then, roughly 225 requests. The change drew a lot of user anger.
