title: "Increased usage for agents"
description: "Cursor has raised limits for Auto and Composer 1.5 for all individual plans. The update introduces separate first-party models and API usage pools: first-party usage is increased for Auto and Composer 1.5, while API pricing and plan allowances remain unchanged. Composer 1.5 has a standard limit of three times Composer 1’s, with a temporary increase to six times through February 16. Cursor says this supports developers moving from autocomplete toward daily agentic coding while accommodating different preferences for speed, intelligence, and affordability. Composer 1.5 is described as scoring above Sonnet 4.5 on Terminal-Bench 2.0 but below the best frontier models, and both pools reset with the monthly usage cycle; the limits are live for Pro, Pro Plus, and Ultra plans."

## Summary

Cursor has raised limits for Auto and Composer 1.5 for all individual plans. The update introduces separate first-party models and API usage pools: first-party usage is increased for Auto and Composer 1.5, while API pricing and plan allowances remain unchanged. Composer 1.5 has a standard limit of three times Composer 1’s, with a temporary increase to six times through February 16. Cursor says this supports developers moving from autocomplete toward daily agentic coding while accommodating different preferences for speed, intelligence, and affordability. Composer 1.5 is described as scoring above Sonnet 4.5 on Terminal-Bench 2.0 but below the best frontier models, and both pools reset with the monthly usage cycle; the limits are live for Pro, Pro Plus, and Ultra plans.

## Context

Cursor describes a shift from autocomplete toward coding with agents, including ambitious changes across entire codebases. It also notes that developers differ in their preferences for speed, intelligence, and affordability.

## Approach / What changed

The update separates usage into first-party models and API pools, increases first-party usage for Auto and Composer 1.5, temporarily raises Composer 1.5 usage to six times Composer 1’s limit through February 16, and adds editor visibility for monitoring both pools.

## Takeaways

- Composer 1.5 has three times Composer 1’s standard usage limit, temporarily increased to six times through February 16.
- Individual plans include at least $20 of API usage each month, with higher allowances on higher tiers and the option to pay for additional usage.
- Composer 1.5 scored above Sonnet 4.5 on Terminal-Bench 2.0 but below the best frontier models, according to the stated evaluation.
