Evidence 2
| date | source | what it proved |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-22 | cursor.com/docs/account/pricing/legacy-cursor-plans | request-based plans are 'an older generation still', linked from the legacy-plans page as a separate document |
| 2026-10-22 | cursor.com/docs/account/pricing/request-based-legacy | 'If you're on a legacy request-based plan, you can continue using it until your next renewal. At renewal, you'll be migrated to the usage-based pricing model.' The page describes the model in the past tense and states the migration, which is the evidence that no new account can buy it |
