Cursor Pro usage limits, explained
Important: Cursor now has two pricing systems: - Legacy Cursor plans (Hobby, Pro, Pro+, Ultra), which continue for existing subscribers. [1][2] - The X Subscription, which new self-serve customers get, with one weekly pool shared with Grok. [3][4]
Check which one you're on before reading the limits.

- Cursor Models pool: Grok 4.7, Grok 4.6, Grok 4.5 and Composer 2.5. Cursor describes this pool as "significantly more included usage". [1][5]
- Other Models pool: third-party models, charged at the provider's API price. [1][5]
- Usage resets monthly with your billing cycle. Unused usage doesn't roll over. [5]
- Pro and above include unlimited Tab completions and extended agent limits. [1]
- Check usage on the dashboard's Spending tab, which shows both pools and the reset date. [5]
Not published: the size of the Cursor Models pool. Cursor only says "significantly more included usage".
Cursor's own usage guidance [1]
- Daily Tab users: typically stay within included usage.
- Limited Agent users: often stay within included usage.
- Daily Agent users: typically $60–$100/mo total usage.
- Power users: often $200+/mo.
When you hit the limit (legacy)
Turn on on-demand usage (pay-as-you-go at the same API rates) or upgrade. [1][5]
On The X Subscription instead?
Your Cursor usage comes from the weekly pool shared with Grok and Grok Bot. Third-party models are billed from the first use. See the X Subscription page. [3][4]
