Single Cursor Prompt Burns Through Entire Usage Quota
tetsuoai · x · 2026-07-13
The author claims that a single prompt using the Fable model in Cursor:
- Generated 145 lines of code
- Consumed about 5 hours of their total usage quota
- Ate up 38% of the monthly limit
- Triggered 157.1 million cache reads
- Still failed to complete the task
The author's question is: How is this even possible?
