Your Cursor bill has four tanks. They do not mix.

You keep the human work. We build the rest.

• Account and cycle: Live Cursor Ultra bill for james@jamesbrady.org, invoice Aug 18 $0.00 Paid, cycle Aug 18–Sep 18. Subscription is SuperGrok Heavy (includes Ultra) with on‑demand $0 / $200 remaining at this snapshot. Four usage tanks are rendered separately and do not mix. The four tanks printed:

• Cursor Models — shows 82M tokens used, meter marked 0.0% of monthly.

• Other Models — 1.6B tokens, 8.5% of monthly.

• Grok Bot — 14% used, a weekly bar that resets Sep 1.

• Grok CLI (Heavy) — ~3% used, a weekly bar whose size is not published.

The percents are render order only — they are not tank sizes and should not be ranked against each other.

• The SuperGrok promotion ended Aug 21. New Heavy subscriptions after that date do not get Cursor Ultra.
• A Grok Bot link is a usage grant for the weekly Bot bar. It does not unlock IDE access, does not create an Ultra plan, and does not fill the Other Models tank. Source: staff confirmation (Colin, Aug 21).
• “Grandfathering” means: keep Heavy active to keep the linked benefit. Team SuperGrok does not qualify. There is no sunset printed; Sep 18 is the cycle boundary for this bill, not a program end date.

• Row labels (sand-default, sand-automation, etc.) display Bot usage, not the Other Models quota. Weekly Bot is separate from monthly Other Models.
• Rows observed on the bill: 1.1B default, 157.4M automation, 13.2M sand‑cua (James/CoS attribution), Opus 138.2M, GPT‑5 147.9M. Invoice still $0 at this snapshot.

Relative mix pricing (USD per 1M tokens). These are estimates for mix‑B, not a bill:

• Flash: ~$0.933
• Grok 4.6: ~$3.05
• GPT‑5: ~$3.76
• Fast Grok: ~$6.10
• Opus: ~$10.55

• Report table totals like $5,314 / $5,967 / $1,469 are not the invoice.
• A $400 “Other Models” ladder is a HYPOTHESIS (old 20×$20 mental model). It is not on this bill and is not printed by Cursor.

• From the screen: 1.6B tokens at 8.5% of monthly ⇒ 1.6 ÷ 0.085 ≈ 18.82B tokens capacity. This is math on a live display, not an official cap. Do not invert Bot: 1.2706B ÷ 0.14 would be apples to a different tank.

• If 0.0% prints below 0.05%, then 82M tokens on the Cursor Models bar implies > 164B monthly capacity. This is a bound, not a printed cap.

• If on‑demand were charged at the assumed 8k/1.5k/20k cache turn, $200 would buy roughly ~2.3k Opus to ~29.6k Flash requests, or ~5.7k Grok 4.6. These are ASSUMPTIONS to make the bar legible, not prices from the bill.

The buckets do not mix. Display is not quota. Treat the bill like a dashboard: take the numbers that are printed (“ON‑SCREEN”), label every inference (“ESTIMATE”), and mark any old ladder you are still carrying around as what it is (“HYPOTHESIS”).
