> 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.

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.

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.

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

I can understand Plus to some extent but why would Work users be considered casual or new?

So we must move to 5 hour working days. Thanks OpenAI!

Honestly didn't expect that

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?

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.

BrucecarlL

Please don’t! Don’t limit my daily usage

"During this period, the company also reset users’ weekly usage early on several occasions to celebrate milestones" Such a casino vibe.

I left Claude because of this. I guess now I need to move on from OpenAI also

I see this as evidence that last weeks token burn rate wasn’t by accident or due to some “bug.” I don’t mind the 5 hour window but this is a reminder to not hinge your workflows on any one tool.

Tragic day in AI.

Stupid question: Why are y'all not using the API? It’s more expensive, but you can do what you want.

It will get worse! Tighter limits, forcing people to higher plans. Most will go as they are addicted and dependent on those tools. They need to use to finish the project they started as no human will touch that pile of code. If you didn't saw this coming, as it has been the standard business strategy from all kinds of SaaS in the last years, you haven't been paying attention.

This sucks, but really the value of the $20 plan has been insane. I routinely get weeks of work out of the weekly limit, so yeah I'll just move up plans if needed.
