Always remaining 500 times again.

[qwe0001]

Issue Description

This extension is currently displaying a hardcoded value of 500 requests instead of fetching the actual remaining usage from the Cursor API.
This appears to be related to recent changes in Cursor's pricing model from a fixed monthly request limit to a dollar-based usage system.

Root Cause Analysis

1. Hardcoded Total Requests

File: dist/statusBar.js:29

const TOTAL_REQUESTS = 500;  // ❌ Hardcoded value

2. Deprecated API Endpoint

File: dist/extension.js (minified)

The extension is using the old API endpoint:

// Old endpoint that no longer returns request counts
async function F(e,s){return x(`usage?user=${e}`,s)}

3. Fallback to Hardcoded Value

The code falls back to the hardcoded 500 when the API doesn't return the expected data:

// In the minified extension.js
let g=n["gpt-4"].maxRequestUsage||500;  // ❌ Falls back to 500

Proposed Solution

1. Update API Endpoint

Replace the deprecated /usage?user=${userId} endpoint with the new /usage-summary endpoint:

// New API call
async function fetchUsageSummary(cookie) {
    return fetch('https://cursor.com/api/usage-summary', {
        method: 'GET',
        headers: {
            'Content-Type': 'application/json',
            'Cookie': `WorkosCursorSessionToken=${cookie}`
        }
    });
}

2. Remove Hardcoded Values

File: src/statusBar.js

// ❌ Remove this line
const TOTAL_REQUESTS = 500;

// ✅ Use dynamic values from API
function updateStatusBar(usageData) {
    const { individualUsage } = usageData;
    const { used, limit, remaining } = individualUsage.plan;
    
    // Convert cents to dollars
    const usedDollars = (used / 100).toFixed(2);
    const limitDollars = (limit / 100).toFixed(2);
    const remainingDollars = (remaining / 100).toFixed(2);
    
    statusBarItem.text = `⚡ Remaining $${remainingDollars} ($${usedDollars} / $${limitDollars})`;
}

3. Update Data Processing

File: src/extension.js

// Replace the old usage fetching logic
const usageData = await fetchUsageSummary(cookie);
const { individualUsage } = usageData;

// Use the new API response structure
const used = individualUsage.plan.used;      // in cents
const limit = individualUsage.plan.limit;    // in cents  
const remaining = individualUsage.plan.remaining; // in cents

New API Response Structure

The /usage-summary endpoint returns:

{
  "individualUsage": {
    "plan": {
      "used": 1664,      // 16.64 USD in cents
      "limit": 2000,     // 20.00 USD in cents
      "remaining": 336   // 3.36 USD in cents
    }
  },
  "billingCycleEnd": "2025-11-10T07:17:43.000Z"
}

Expected Behavior After Fix

• Status bar should display: ⚡ Remaining $3.36 ($16.64 / $20.00)
• Dynamic updates based on actual usage
• Proper warning states when approaching limits
• Accurate billing cycle information

Thanks for making such a super cool extension!

Hey @qwe0001!
thanks!
I'll take a deeper look soon and will create a fix 🚀

@YossiSaadi same issue as @qwe0001

Sorry guys, haven't been able to handle it yet. tight times.

I changed it to use the /api/dashboard/get-monthly-invoice endpoint instead.
This lets it show values like 33.50/40.00$ which is good enough for me, but I don't know yet how it'll behave when I have free quota again
