I didn’t realise how much I was spending on my Cursor queries because we had 1000 requests/month provisioned for us.
Now that we have moved to a pay-per-query model, every query I make has started to hurt. It forces me to think and learn about smarter querying patterns. It also forces me to start using different models for different tasks:
- Cheaper models for codebase traversal
- Big brain models for planning
- Cheaper models for actual coding
It’s interesting to think about and a problem worth solving.
