> 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
