Cursor: Composer dropped from 'Generous limits' benefit (Pro/Pro+/Ultra)
What happened
Between the Aug 10, 2026 and Aug 17, 2026 captures of Cursor's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: 'Generous limits for Grok & Composer' -> 'Generous limits for Grok' on Individual plan tiers (Pro, Pro+, Ultra) — Composer models no longer covered by the generous usage limits benefit. In detail: Composer removed from the 'Generous limits' cohort on Individual plan tiers (Pro, Pro+, Ultra): bullet now reads 'Generous limits for Grok' only, down from 'Generous limits for Grok & Composer'. Pulse files it as a packaging change (limit decrease) with a downward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 19, 2026) lists Plus at $8, Premium at $30, Teams at $30, Super at $100 and Ultra at $200.
It lands 21 days after Cursor's previous change, "Cursor adds plan taglines, swaps Hobby's third perk to Composer access" (Jul 27, 2026). Cursor has been tracked since 2026-05-19.
In the same window Windsurf, Replit, Continu, GitHub and JetBrains also changed their Software Development & Testing pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
