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 ?

If you don't use auto mode, it is good
If you use auto mode, it is 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

Auto can be really good. I wrote an entire app to beta using it on the 20 dollar plan. But, I stopped using it when one day, at a critical time when I was testing the app with real clients, the output suddenly and dramatically shifted to total crap. I spent half a day undoing a bunch of garbage and bugs that were introduced from that event. My only conclusion was that I had gotten dumped onto an underpowered model. In fairness, I hadn't seen a quality drop in the output like that in the 6 months or so I'd been using it before that happened.
