cursor v0.50 is here
lots of juicy features
here's all the features you need to know 🧵 👇
@cursor_ai Simpler, unified pricing for @cursor_ai
– All model usage now on request-based pricing
– Max Mode adopts token-based pricing (like model APIs)
– Premium tool calls & long context mode removed

Background Agent (Preview)
"a remote, asynchronous agent that runs outside the main Cursor editor in a remote containerized environment. It allows you to offload long-running or complex task"
works best for tasks that require less human interaction like fixing simple bugs, small features, or long changes
