Card #2963 · Cursor (AI IDE)
Integration of external AI Pro subscriptions to avoid double-billing
Users are frustrated by having to pay for both Cursor and separate Pro subscriptions (like Claude Pro or ChatGPT Plus) while still facing usage limits or expensive API costs. They are requesting a way to authenticate their existing AI platform accounts within Cursor to utilize their existing subscription quotas.

If I already pay for Claude Max, I should be able to use that subscription inside Cursor
Cursor charged me extra for using Claude, beyond the included usage limits. So, it’s normal for it to bother me, because I pay for Claude separately
Eliminate the problem of double-billing for the same resource (fixed subscription + variable API costs).
