$200 Pro plan
$200 Pro plan, exhausted in 5 days. $50+ additional tokens = $200 per week, to use AI Cloud Models that I already own?
DeepSeek, $10 a year, used only $5.00 worth in 12 months.
Perplexity Sonar models, $20, only used $5.00 in two months of daily usage.
Issues:
Cursor's auto switching models in mid-dev = Broken code, no memory.
Cursors broken chat panel scrolling bug, never fixed. Forces the user to repeatedly scroll to the bottom of the thread. Scrolling options do not work.
Broken Context tags: Perpetually removes Docs, Files, Rules from chat = More broken code amd bugs.
Cursor's auto switching from Agent mode to Chat mode = wasted tokens, increased context usage, flooded chat threads.
No chat save to Markdown feature = poor performance of chat context awareness.
Blocked from adding your own AI Cloud Model API keys: Gemini DeepSeek, Perplexity, Claude, etc = More proxy middleman reseller fees and security risks.
Total disregard of app settings to NOT USE CERTAIN AI MODELS. Disabling Claude, doesn't work. They force Claude on you and auto switch without consent or obeying rules. Because, well, they keep more money from the premium AI model tokens.
The age of middleman reseller proxies exploiting people is gonna die off soon. A wrapper, reselling a wrapper, reselling a wrapper, just to bill people more for AI Models they already own a cloud account with.
Just BYOK, i recommend using Zed IDE, or Theia IDE. App that ACTUALLY WORK. You'll save THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND LESS HEADACHES.
