#### Plans and usage

# Extra usage credits and top-ups

With **The X Subscription**, each paid seat receives a shared weekly pool for eligible first-party usage only across supported Grok and Cursor surfaces. Additional Usage is paid from prepaid top-up credit.

If your account has not switched to **The X Subscription**, its current billing behavior continues.

## What counts as Additional Usage

* Third-party models in Cursor aren't included in your plan. They're paid from prepaid credit from the first use.
* On teams, seats share the workspace's prepaid balance. Each paid seat still has its own weekly pool for eligible first-party usage only.

For current third-party model availability and charges, see models and pricing in the product.

## Prepaid balance and spending caps

Your prepaid credit and your monthly additional usage limit are separate controls:

* **Prepaid balance:** credit available to pay for Additional Usage
* **Monthly additional usage limit** (spending cap): the most paid Additional Usage allowed in a calendar month. Leave it unset for no cap.

Adding prepaid credit does not raise the monthly extra-usage spending cap. Additional Usage can stop even when credit remains if the cap is reached.

## Auto Top Up

Auto Top-up is optional and only runs after you enable it. Switching to The X Subscription doesn't turn it on for you. When it's on, it charges your saved payment method when your prepaid credit drops below the threshold you choose.
