Cursor removed cost information from the usage page and CSV export
Cursor changed self-serve usage reporting from dollar figures to token counts. The company says the dollar graph confused users because included usage was shown at API rates, while a staff reply says the CSV cost breakage was accidental and has been fixed; per-request cost reporting remains unavailable for many self-serve plans.
Users object that tokens are not a budget: they want per-model and per-request spend to compare efficiency and control on-demand usage. The Hacker News thread also turns the incident into a harness-engineering discussion, with one benchmark finding huge token differences between otherwise successful agents and others warning that fewer tokens can mean fewer checks or less capable orchestration.
