We did too. The number was always there, but nobody looked at it when it mattered.

So we built Cursor Usage Status, a free extension that puts your usage in the status bar, where you're already looking. It shows what's left this cycle, spend by model, and whether your pace will last until the reset.

Cursor's in-app usage view is several screens away from the actual usage in our enterprise accounts, so we kept a browser tab open to track it.
