## What uses credits

- Agent, chat and other model use draws from your weekly pool. Premium has 4x Plus usage, Super 15x and Ultra 50x. ([source](https://cursor.com/pricing))
- Plus runs Cursor models only (Grok and Composer) at fixed settings, with no Auto, cloud agents, Bugbot or third-party models. ([source](https://cursor.com/help/account-and-billing/pricing))
- Third-party models are billed at API list price. ([source](https://cursor.com/pricing))
- Teams using their own API keys pay a Cursor Token Rate of $0.25 per 1M tokens. ([source](https://cursor.com/help/models-and-usage/usage-limits))

## Where to see your usage

- The Usage page on your grok.com dashboard shows the weekly pool and its reset date. ([source](https://cursor.com/help/models-and-usage/usage-limits))
- Unused included usage does not roll over. Prepaid credit expires 365 days after purchase. Legacy plans reset monthly. ([source](https://cursor.com/help/models-and-usage/usage-limits))

## How to cap spend

- Set a monthly additional usage limit in billing settings, or leave it unset for no cap. ([source](https://cursor.com/help/account-and-billing/spend-limits))
- Teams admins can set a fixed or per-seat limit. ([source](https://cursor.com/help/account-and-billing/spend-limits))
- The limit is not enforced instantly, so a running task can go a little past it. Your included weekly usage keeps working after the limit. ([source](https://cursor.com/help/account-and-billing/spend-limits))

## What the plan price does not cover

- Third-party models at API list price, beyond your included pool. ([source](https://cursor.com/pricing))
- Grok API usage is billed separately. Prices exclude taxes. ([source](https://cursor.com/pricing))
- On individual plans, your own API key is billed by that provider directly. ([source](https://cursor.com/help/models-and-usage/usage-limits))
- Annual prices: $80 Plus, $300 Premium, $1,000 Super, $2,000 Ultra. ([source](https://cursor.com/help/account-and-billing/pricing))
