  • This sucks, but really the value of the $20 plan has been insane. I routinely get weeks of work out of the weekly limit, so yeah I'll just move up plans if needed.
  • This is such a bummer for those of us living in third world countries. I’m not a casual user, I just can’t afford to pay more.
  • I really don't mind blowing my weekly usage in one day, but getting my tasks stopped and waiting for 5h cap to finish - is just annoying.
  • So we must move to 5 hour working days. Thanks OpenAI!
  • Given that it's not possible to buy the USD 100,- or USD 200,- subscription on a team/corporate plan this effectively introduces the 5h limits again for all corporate users.

    At this point the 40 USD/120 USD Cursor Team subscription suddenly becomes a lot more attractive. You'll get more generous limits and a single monthly limit.

  • > This is necessary as (a) the 5h limit allows us to smoothen the load on our compute, allowing to keep the plan generous in terms of weekly usage

    Seems fair, but then maybe the 5h usage should also drain slower during off-peak hours? Perhaps it already does.

    > and (b) users on the Plus plan are relatively casual and new users, but then also just accidentally eat through their whole weeks usage and then are confused, making it not a great experience.

    Wouldn't this one be fixed by making the 5h limit a guardrail you can opt out of? If so, then this doesn't work as justification for a mandatory limit.

  • "During this period, the company also reset users’ weekly usage early on several occasions to celebrate milestones"

    Such a casino vibe.
