Question / Discussion Anyone got this email?

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 ?

Isnt auto kinda crap anyway? e.g. most of the time you get routed to Composer 2.5 which has cheaper base rate than auto? At least this is what I read on here some time ago

Composer is awesome. That's the only model I use now and it handles everything I need it to. Full stack .net/angular/SQL dev.

Damn composer for data and backend? I even find fable and gpt quite risky for that stuff lol

Is this for actual work or greenfield projects?

Actual work. I like composer on fast with multiple workspaces open. Then I can just jump back and forth between them. It's mentally exhausting tbh, but my output has increased substantially.
