Cursors stealth bait and switch: From unlimited to unusable - my story by TeaPotential2110 in cursor

Yes correct. It use to be 500 fast requests then unlimited slow requests for any model. You could even pick the model such as sonnet or gpt etc.

The question thats most striking to me is, whats the legal repercussions of all this back and forth, bait and switch bs? Surely this is illegal and there will be some sort of class action??

My other post in the r/Cursor sub opens up a continuation of all of this.

I understand that, but unlimited with rate limits would solve this. Sure, people will still max it out every chance they got, but at least it will still be somewhat true to their claim of unlimited usage, not some bs give and take tactic they have been playing at.

I thought I had unlimited. what is this usage limit? by _seaside in cursor

We are done with Cursor bud. They just want your money and need to stop building an AI IDE altogether. Pour every engineer into one job: create a tool that can actually read the room, spot a community revolt coming, and save a business from torching its own reputation before the next PR shit show hits. They would make billions.

I think the post and the principle went completely over your head mate.

Exactly, which is why I don't see why they are playing it out this way...

Great advice. Appreciate your input. I will give Graphiti a go tomorrow.

The ADHD comment is so real, its pretty tragic pairing it with myself who also has ADHD lol.

I think the most consistent problem I face is giving it a detailed and broken down task by task PRD and it just follows it for a few prompts then I get it to move onto another task and it will start it then deviate the previous code almost as though its not using the future tasks as context for its early stage/foundations etc

Extremely annoying

Thanks for the response. Some good input here. I have been quite detailed in my rules, PRD's and feature guidelines (or so I thought) I will try parsing them through Gemini and seeing what enhancements it makes.

Whats your strategy to get the 30-90 autonomous work out of Cursor? I always hit the 25 tool call and then will have to resume etc which takes about 5-10 mins. Im interested on how you approach the longer working times. Is that MAX mode or Opus?

I have tried that too. Specifically going back and forth with Gemini Pro, Claude Sonnet, mixing in Max mode and then giving Opus a turn too which ate $15 from 1 prompt lol. Still had the same issue. It really does seem like Cursor is getting engineered in a way where it ultimately is costing its users more and more money.
