Wow, I don’t use cursor but that seems pretty bad for them.

Is there a way to work around this (like using your OpenAI limits directly?)

I used cursor extensively both at work and for personal use. Its harness is pretty darn good but I basically never used OpenAI models in it.

The first party cursor models (initially composer and now grok-cursor) and price very competitively for their quality and have very generous usage limits included in the base plans, and then per token pricing afterwards.

Occasionally I’ve used some of the Anthropic models in it but found their cost massively outweighed the benefits for the type of usage we do.

I was using Sonnet 4.5 and 4.6 for a while but the newer models are a lot more expensive at the per-token pricing.

Cursor does currently allow users to BYO OpenAI token. Given Cursor won't have access to OpenAI models for prompt engineering/evals though, there's definitely a question of whether they'd allow picking any new OpenAI models, assuming the BYOK option continues to exist at all.

    Email to customers now "We’re speaking with the OpenAI team to resolve this, and we will share more in the coming weeks around continuity of access to OpenAI models. We’ll continue to offer ways to access all models in Cursor.
