Cursor Token Rate
Teams and Enterprise plan customers pay a Cursor Token Rate of $0.25 per million tokens on third-party model requests. This includes when you select a third-party model directly, and when Auto Balance or Auto Intelligence routes to a third-party model.
Auto Cost and all first-party models, including Composer 2.5 and Grok 4.5, are exempt.
This applies to included usage, on-demand usage, and BYOK usage when the request uses a third-party model that is subject to the Cursor Token Rate.
What does the Cursor Token Rate cover?
- Search infrastructure
- Custom model execution and routing
- Processing and infrastructure costs
How is the Cursor Token Rate calculated?
For eligible third-party model requests, the rate applies to input tokens, output tokens, and cached tokens. The Cursor Token Rate also applies to BYOK usage, in addition to whatever you pay your API provider directly.
How do I avoid the Cursor Token Rate?
Use Auto Cost or a first-party model, including Composer 2.5 or Grok 4.5. These requests are exempt from the Cursor Token Rate.
