Can you elaborate on what you're referring to? I don't used Cursor extensively, but I do pay for it, and it was a flat fee annual subscription for unlimited requests, with the "fast" queue being capped at a set number of requests per month with no reference to their size.
Claude Code does work the way you say, since you provide it your Anthropic API key. But I have not seen Cursor charging for context or completion tokens, which is actually the reason why I'm paying for it instead of using something like Aider.
