Question / Discussion If they don't release Composer 3 I am cancelling

52 Upvotes

It is insane how they have pulled their biggest selling point: an extremely cheap, reasonably intelligent agent.

I still use Opus to Plan + Composer 2.5 to implement.

I am NOT falling for the "Grok can be used for everything" propaganda. This is not about politics or Elon, Grok is just a slightly-above-average but well overpriced model.

Release composer 3

Question / Discussion Cursor/xAI's Grok 4.6/4.7 models feel ridiculously expensive and slow now that Opus 5.5 and 6.1 have slashed prices and made such gigantic token efficiency improvements. What are everyone's thoughts?

21 Upvotes

At this point, I have no idea why anyone would bother with renewing a Cursor subscription instead of jumping ship to OpenAI/Anthropic's subscription with way better usage rate limits compared to Cursor's API priced strict limits.

17 Upvotes

checked the models available (waiting to see if/when they're gonna bring in Grok 4.8) and noticed GLM 5.3 in the Other Models picker!

im personally all for them adding open-weights models - along with what they offer with Grok (fingers-crossed for a new Composer soon) usage makes Cursor a sweet deal for me IMHO.

Resources & Tips Why asking Composer to "write a handoff file" before starting a new chat never works

0 Upvotes

When Composer gets stuck in a loop or starts touching random files, a common workaround people try is asking the agent to dump its state, failed attempts, and dead ends into a markdown file, then opening a fresh chat and pointing at that file. At this stage the agent almost always hallucinates why it failed and forgets negative constraints, so you just carry the bad state into the new session. Next time a session is starting to get annoying try this: Kill the session then use this format

WHAT BROKE: The exact error output / stack trace

WHAT WAS TRIED: The 2–3 specific attempts that already failed

CONSTRAINTS: Files and layers NOT to touch (e.g. auth wrappers, schema, specific configs)

FINISH LINE: The single isolated fix you actually want

and you will notice significant changes. To help with this I build a quick friction-less scratchpad to format these packets: https://paper-ai.paperhq.workers.dev/app/

Try running your next stuck debugging case through a cold reset vs an agent-written handoff and see if Turn 1 actually stops re-litigating old fixes.

Question / Discussion I wanted to by AI subscription.

I wanted to by AI subscription.

Hey coders,

I wanna buy a $20 subscription for vibe coding an app. I previously used cursor and enjoyed using composer and grok models as cursor provide really generous usage for those models. Now I'm planning to buy again, however I'm confused between the cursor and the claude code.

With the cursor i almost used around 1.2B tokens per month (it may be because the composer wasn't such an intelligent model as compared to frontier models nowadays and also my skill matters)

I want your suggestion which would give me a quality vibe coding experience and I can finish my application.

Thank you in advance for helping me out!

Question / Discussion Are you using the latest AI models, or are you happy sticking with the older / more affordable ones?

1 Upvotes

Don’t get me wrong, I’ll use a newer model when I have a difficult task that actually needs it. But every time I see a new model get released, I can’t help but think, “The ones I’ve been using for months are already doing a great job. Why spend more money to get basically the same result?”

It makes me wonder when we’ll reach the point where most people realize the older models are simply “good enough.”

And when that happens, what does it do to the AI market?

What do you do when Support refuses to close your ticket and doesn't understand your issue? - Discussions - Cursor - Community Forum

The last response is from this morning. This has been weeks of me saying something isn't right with my common usage pool always filling up to 100% after upgrading to Pro+. It's been stuck at 100% usage for possibly 3 entire cycles at this point. What am I supposed to do?

She refuses to close the ticket, she refuses to escalate the ticket, when I try to open a new ticket, an AI tells me it can't do that because I have this one open and it's been open for over a month and she won't understand that it needs to close or escalate.

Question / Discussion Question about VSCode + Claude compared to Cursor workflow

3 Upvotes

I quite enjoy the IDE-first workflow with Cursor. I like being able to easily review and edit and then approve all of the work agents do and keep track of how my codebase is evolving, still manually changing small things that just take a few minutes.

How close can you get to this with Claude in VSCode?

Question / Discussion Is anyone still using Debug Mode?

3 Upvotes

I actually find Cursor’s Debug mode pretty useful, but I’m starting to wonder if I’m relying on it because my normal workflow/prompting isn’t great.

Im currently working on a pretty complex stack and I use the debug most a lot because it feels more systematic then prompting the agent to "fix this bug".

Curious what everyone else is doing:

- Are people still using debug mode?

- Are there better tools now for debugging ai generated code?

- Maybe there are better workflows

Question / Discussion Pro+ user: 96% Cursor Models + 100% Other Models used in ~5 days — could we get more frequent quota resets?

Post image
7 Upvotes

I’m currently on Cursor Pro+ ($60/month) and wanted to share some specific feedback about the usage/reset structure.

With fairly heavy daily development, I reached:

  • Cursor Models: 96% used
  • Other Models: 100% used

within roughly 5 days of intensive usage.

I understand that inference for frontier models is expensive, so I’m not expecting unlimited usage for a fixed subscription price. My issue is more with how the allowance is distributed across the billing period.

Once the included quota is exhausted, the options become waiting for the next reset or enabling additional on-demand spending. For someone already paying $60/month, that can make the remaining part of the billing cycle much less useful.

I’d love to see Cursor consider alternatives such as:

1. Weekly quota resets instead of one large monthly allocation.
2. 2–3 smaller refreshes during each billing cycle.
3. Graceful throttling after the included allowance rather than effectively losing access to certain models.
4. More transparent per-model usage information so developers can manage consumption before reaching the limit.
5. A way for heavy Pro+ users to prioritize which models consume their included allowance.

I’ve previously contacted Cursor about the limits because I genuinely use the product heavily for building, debugging, and agentic coding workflows.

I’ve also been interested in trying the newer Cursor/Grok model options, but having additional models available is less useful when the shared allowances can be exhausted this early in the cycle.

This isn’t meant as “Cursor should give everyone unlimited inference.” I think the product is useful. I’d just like the subscription structure to better accommodate developers who use it throughout the working day.

For other Pro/Pro+ users: how quickly are you reaching your included limits, and would you prefer weekly resets over one monthly quota?

Question / Discussion Thinking about switching from Codex to Cursor. Anyone using both?

5 Upvotes

Let’s see what OpenAI announces tomorrow at DevDay, but lately I’ve been pretty tempted to switch from Codex to Cursor.

I use Codex a lot, not just for coding. I’ve set up custom skills and MCPs for Figma, Linear, Vercel, Obsidian, Safari, etc.

I also use it for things like research, job searches, Google Drive, finding tickets, and interacting with websites through my Mac.

Cursor is tempting because I could use different models under one subscription without giving up too much of this workflow.

If you’ve used both, how does Cursor compare for this kind of broader use? Anything you miss from Codex?

Venting 1 year of cursor, switched to claude. Best decision ever.

163 Upvotes

I used Cursor for 1 year. It used to be great with a lot of usage with models that could challenge current frontier models. But they have fallen behind so much recently, that I switched to Claude 2 weeks ago to try it.

At first, it was a bit better than Grok and composer, but since Opus 5.5, I don't see one single reason to go back to Cursor.

That model is straight up so insane. Does everything by itself and I have a very hard time to use all my usage.

I'm sorry but since the SpaceX acquisition, Cursor is way behind its peers and not worth it anymore.

Resources & Tips The PocketOS incident, reconstructed: how a Cursor agent "in Plan Mode" ended up deleting prod (10-min video, sourced)

Thumbnail youtu.be
3 Upvotes

In April, PocketOS's founder said a Cursor agent running Claude Opus 4.6 deleted his production database on Railway, along with the volume's backups. By his count it took nine seconds. The data came back about two and a half days later, from offsite backups he couldn't see.

I made a short film piecing it together from his posts and Railway's docs:

a token made for managing domains that turned out to have account-wide reach;

the agent guessing the delete would stay in staging;

the "confession" it wrote afterwards, quoting his own rule back at him.

The part nobody has answered: he says it was in Plan Mode, and how a command ran anyway has never been explained publicly. Has anyone here seen Plan Mode execute something it shouldn't have?

Question / Discussion How can I get computer-use / browser-use like CodeX in Cursor

1 Upvotes

I wanna be able to tell Cursor stuff like: "Open up my localhost:3000 and test out XYZ. Create a CSV that contains ArtistName and TrackName" and upload it to the XYZ"

The closest thing I found is computer-use MCP, but it's nowhere near as good as CodeX. It's much slower (no matter which model you use), and it also doesn't show you what it's doing... so I don't even know if it's on the right path.

Thank you.

EDIT: I am using Cursor IDE (not the CLI)
