Cursor removed cost information from the usage page and CSV export
Teams and individuals who rely on the usage page to monitor per-request spending against a budget can no longer do so easily, as token counts are an inconsistent proxy for cost across different models. The only remaining way to track billable spend is via the separate Spending dashboard or by parsing the CSV, which now omits the cost column entirely for self-serve plans.
Written by elseif from the cluster below · every claim links back to a sourceThe three things worth knowing
Cursor deliberately removed dollar amounts from the usage page and CSV export for all self-serve plans, including Teams, stating that showing costs higher than the plan price caused confusion.
Enterprise plans retain dollar amounts on the usage page due to their pooled usage structure, while self-serve plans now show token counts and mark included usage as 'Included'.
Users on Teams plans with significant API spend report losing the ability to track per-user and per-model costs, as the usage CSV no longer contains a cost column.
