> This is necessary as (a) the 5h limit allows us to smoothen the load on our compute, allowing to keep the plan generous in terms of weekly usage
Seems fair, but then maybe the 5h usage should also drain slower during off-peak hours? Perhaps it already does.
> and (b) users on the Plus plan are relatively casual and new users, but then also just accidentally eat through their whole weeks usage and then are confused, making it not a great experience.
Wouldn't this one be fixed by making the 5h limit a guardrail you can opt out of? If so, then this doesn't work as justification for a mandatory limit.
Also, I want to be able to eat through my whole week's usage at once. What if I was busy all week and want to work on my personal project(s) Saturday or Sunday.
Given that it's not possible to buy the USD 100,- or USD 200,- subscription on a team/corporate plan this effectively introduces the 5h limits again for all corporate users.
At this point the 40 USD/120 USD Cursor Team subscription suddenly becomes a lot more attractive. You'll get more generous limits and a single monthly limit.
I'm curious about why you see ads, I didn't think anyone on HN does, nowadays. Given how easy it is to install uBlock, is it a conscious decision to browse adfully?
Why not? I owe my life to ads. Thank you Google AdSense and Yahoo! Ads for the hundreds of thousands of dollars you paid for 16 year old Rob to slap them on his MySpace layout website in 2006 so Timmy could put a glitter graphic of Stone Cold Steve Austin on his banner.
LinkedIn has a couple of useful features: Getting in touch with former coworkers; seeing who might know the hiring manager for a position you're applying for; uh... that's about it.
The rest is garbage but I guess is how they make their money.
Haha. I've been pretty happy using similar limits on Claude precisely for this. It provides a really nice work:life balance without that nagging feeling that I should really get a few more hours in.
"During this period, the company also reset users’ weekly usage early on several occasions to celebrate milestones"
Such a casino vibe.
Both OpenAI and Anthropic use a lot of casino/slot machine mechanics in their TUIs and Apps so likely intentional.

There are no off-peak hours. I have received the model overloaded error that cancels my current goal during the early hours of the morning.
> early hours of the morning
which TZ?
> There are no off-peak hours.
Probably US west coast hours, but there's no public stats
So we must move to 5 hour working days. Thanks OpenAI!
Imagine paying for this shit..

Based on the ads flooding me on LinkedIn, Facebook, and anywhere else I see ads, Cursor is really going after this market right now.

I don't think that many people here voluntarily go on Facebook either
I’m still shocked to hear that people go on LinkedIn

I’m not a user myself but find it not great for your customers to announce such a change for the next day. Cannot they announce a few days in advance?
This is such a bummer for those of us living in third world countries. I’m not a casual user, I just can’t afford to pay more.
Aren’t you better using other services than OpenAI if the price matters to you?
I’ve tried Claude Code and recently switched to Codex. I’ve found that $20 on Codex gets me 4–5 times more usage than on Claude Code.
I could burn through my Opus usage in 1 hour whereas with Sol, I can go 3–4 days.
You might be thinking of API pricing? The subscriptions give you a lot.
I really don't mind blowing my weekly usage in one day, but getting my tasks stopped and waiting for 5h cap to finish - is just annoying.
Please don’t! Don’t limit my daily usage
I can understand Plus to some extent but why would Work users be considered casual or new?
No point in using /fast mode if you are gonna get stopped after 5 hours.
I say its good because you can atleast have a break in between sessions

Honestly didn't expect that
