This is why it is hard to take a subscription or dependency on them, if they degrade the services willy nilly. Bait and switch tactic.

In Cursor I am seeing varying degrees of delays after exhausting my points, for On-Demand Usage. Some days it works well, other days it just inserts a 30s wait on each message. What am I paying for? You never know when you buy.



You should never buy annual AI subs. This field moves so fast and companies often change their ToS. Poe.com did the same and I was out (one day they decided to change the quotas/month for the SOTA models and turned off the good old GPT-4 and replaced it with GPT-4-Turbo which was quantized and bad).


Could you not ask for, and be entitled to, a refund for your remaining time on an annual subscription if ToS change n months into it?


Could you ask them? Sure, but good luck getting it. In theory, forcefully changing the terms of a service after payment without offering a refund should clearly not be allowed, but in practice, it very much is unless you're willing to waste disproportionate amounts of money taking them to court.


You're right. Silly me to even assume I would be able to establish communication with a biological entity on their side.
