Cursor deleted dollar costs from its usage page and zeroed the API cost fields retroactively.

On July 31 Cursor removed the Spend metric and Cost column for individual and Teams self-serve plans. The CSV export keeps the column but returns $0.00 for every row including historical on-demand charges you actually paid, and the API's chargedCents and usageBasedCosts fields now return zero retroactively. Kevin Neilson explained it as confusion-avoidance: the dollar amounts were often higher than the plan cost because included usage was counted. 326 points and 148 comments on HN in 20 hours, with developers pointing out they used per-request cost to decide which model to route work to. If you built a cost dashboard on those fields, your telemetry broke silently. That's the worse failure.
