This just reminded me to cancel it. I got pretty annoyed back in March when I did a comparison between Cursor and Claude Code to see if Claude had gotten better, and my cursor burned $200 unsupervised on extra credits in a single session. I should have been paying attention.
I've left Claude Code with Fable running all night and it not only didn't run out of my Weekly Claude allowance, it didn't even run out of my weekly fable allowance. Claude Code has been the best coding harness for the money.
I have been a long time Cursor user but it is really expensive even if it is convenient to switch models. I recently switched to just Max on Claude and Max on Codex. That is cheaper than Cursor if you use it a lot.
That hasn't been my experience but maybe it's because in cursor I'm really only using the auto feature all the time. It's been almost a month of daily usage and I'm still only at like 70% quota.

Genuinely curious - why does Cursor still exist?
What’s the point? What value does it add VS VSCode with Claude and such?

I find that auto wrecks my code base and makes stupid mistakes. I find for routine tasks I need at least sonnet and then it is reliable.
It was first/fast to the market, well before Claude and such and it is hard to displace tools once they become entrenched in your workflows.
