Ask HN: Cursor is using 269,738 tokens to edit 1200 token file

sarpdag Friday, July 18, 2025

I started to track my Cursor usage via https://cursor.com/dashboard?tab=usage.

The pricing and usage of tokens hugely changed recently. To test I gave a simple task to Cursor which would use a 192 line swift code, including comments. This file has 1213 tokens according to https://platform.openai.com/tokenizer .

Here is my prompt: "There is a bug when i click on a raw it plays the audio and it deletes it afterwards, even though without clicking the delete button."

The Cursor dashboard says it used 269,738 tokens, and records to usage accordingly. I am a pro plan user.

Is there anyone else having similar issues?
