Fast and Slow Requests

There are two types of requests in Cursor, slow and fast that have their own pool

By default, Cursor servers try to give all users fast premium model requests. However, during peak periods, users who run out of fast premium credits will be moved to a slow pool, which essentially is a queue of users waiting for a fast premium request to become available.

This queue is fair, and Cursor will do everything possible to keep the queue as short as possible. However, if you need more fast premium credits and don’t want to wait, you can add more requests with usage based pricing

Included requests

Every subscription includes a set amount of fast requests. See plans for details on how many fast request your subscription includes.

​

Additional requests

We offer usage-based pricing for additional requests beyond your plan’s included quota:

​

Usage-based Pricing

You may opt in to usage-based pricing for requests that go beyond what is included in your Pro or Business from your dashboard

From the dashboard, you can toggle usage based pricing for premium models and other models (see models to understand which model is which). You can also configure a spend limit in USD to make sure you never go over that. Once the spending limit is hit, slow requests will be used.

We will bill for additional fast requests when you’ve done requests for $20 or the 2nd-3rd day of the month, whatever comes first. Here are two examples

For team accounts, administrators can restrict usage-based pricing settings to admin-only access

Cost per request for each model can be found on the models page

​

Fast requests packages (deprecated)

Fast request packages have been deprecated. Existing users with additional packages can continue to use them and have the option to remove them, but new packages cannot be purchased. If you are at the base amount of fast request packages, the option to modify them will no longer be available in the dashboard.

FAQ

​

When do my fast requests reset?

Your Fast Requests reset on a fixed monthly date based on when you first set up your plan. If you purchase additional requests (for example, upgrading from 500 to 1000 requests), the reset date remains unchanged. For instance, if your plan started on the 23rd, your requests will always reset on the 23rd of each month, regardless of when you purchased additional requests.

​

What does “500 premium requests” mean for teams?

Each user gets their own quota of 500 fast request for premium models per month. These requests are not pooled across the team - every team member gets their own fresh 500 requests when their personal monthly cycle resets.
