  "account": "Cursor has removed cost information from the usage page and CSV export, replacing the $$ amount with token amount, which is not useful for tracking daily spending. Users are unable to revert to the previous format and are frustrated by the lack of transparency regarding billing. Enterprise plans still display dollar amounts, but individual plans will not, due to differences in usage structure. The change was made to avoid confusion caused by inflated dollar amounts for individual plans with generous included usage. The teams admin interface is still available to view per-user on-demand usage, but the lack of per-model dollar breakdown for self-serve plans is a significant inconvenience.",
