Usage-based charges
If you see charges beyond your base subscription, you likely have on-demand usage enabled.
How does on-demand pricing work?
Each plan includes a monthly usage budget. If you exceed your included usage, additional requests are billed at API rates with no markup.
- On-demand usage must be explicitly enabled in your settings
- On-demand usage has its own invoices and line items, distinct from your subscription
How do I check my usage?
Go to cursor.com/dashboard and click Billing & Invoices. You'll see two sections:
- Included Usage: Usage covered by your monthly subscription.
- On-Demand Usage: Any usage charged above your monthly subscription.
How do I prevent on-demand charges?
- Disable on-demand usage: Turn it off in your dashboard settings to stop requests once your included usage runs out
- Set a spend limit: Cap how much on-demand usage you're willing to pay
- Upgrade your plan: Pro+ ($60/mo, $70 included) or Ultra ($200/mo, $400 included) give you a larger budget
