Cursor removed cost information from the usage page and CSV export | Hacker News

A Hacker News thread says Cursor no longer displays cost details on its usage page or in CSV exports.

That raised concerns about billing transparency and made it harder for users to track real AI tool spend.

The discussion then broadened into agent harness comparisons, with commenters reporting large token-usage differences across tools like Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode.

Users said prompt design, tool use, caching, and traces can strongly affect token efficiency, latency, and even task quality.
