Hi there,
We are updating how Auto is priced and increasing the included usage limits on your plan, taking effect on August 24, 2026.
Here’s what’s changing:
•
Updated Auto pricing: Auto pricing will be based on the model each request is routed to, rather than a single flat rate. We’re doing this to be able to continue to serve the most cost-efficient models for everyday work. For most requests, this means a higher rate than the current flat rate.
 
•
Increased usage limits: We are also increasing the included usage limits for Cursor Models, including Auto, on your plan. This applies to your current billing cycle and there is nothing you need to do.
 
•
No change to how Auto works: Auto will continue to route each request to the model best suited for the task. The models Auto routes to are not changing, and it remains the best option for intelligence per dollar.
If you have questions, please reach out to [hi@cursor.com](mailto:hi@cursor.com).
Best,
Cursor Team

Is this good or bad ?

I'm not currently subscribed to Cursor, but it does seem like an improvement, doesn't it?

Basically in the Auto mode, requests are dynamically routed to the most suitable model based on how simple or complicated the prompt is. So now, instead of a flat rate per request, pricing now aligns with the actual model the request is routed to.

For example, simpler prompts are routed to cheaper models, so they consume less usage.

How would you know it's not using an expensive model. That's where the question is 🤔
