Hello, I’m writing here because I can’t figure out how to contact Cursor support.I’ve had my spending limit set to $40 for months and never had any issues before.

Yesterday, I reached the $40 limit and Cursor automatically charged my card almost instantly... it was so fast I was like… calm down, I’m not ready yet XD

Today, I wanted to raise my spending limit to continue working, but Cursor says I can’t because I supposedly have more than 2 unpaid invoices.

The problem is that, because I only put money on my card when needed, sometimes Cursor can’t charge it immediately and marks the invoice as “Uncollectible.” That would already be fine if the actual amount was clearly shown, but instead I just see “Uncollectible” with an amount of $0.00. I have to open every single invoice manually just to see the real amount.

The even more frustrating part is that most of those “uncollectible” invoices were already paid automatically the following month. So now I’m stuck manually opening every invoice and checking month by month whether it was eventually paid or not.

On top of that, Cursor still gives me the option to pay some of those invoices again even when they already appear to be paid, which makes the whole process even more confusing.

At this point, without proper support, I honestly don’t care anymore and probably won’t use the extra spending limit feature again. If Cursor cannot clearly show me what I actually owe right now, that shouldn’t become my problem.

I can clearly see May, April, and March marked as fully paid, while February, January, and December contain a mix of “uncollectible” and paid invoices. It would take only seconds to understand what I still owe, if I even owe anything at all, if the uncollectible invoices simply displayed the correct amount directly in the list.

Instead, they all show $0.00, forcing me to manually open every invoice one by one just to inspect them.

Honestly, this is unacceptable UX. If I owe money to Cursor, then just show me clearly what I currently owe. I shouldn’t have to play investigator because the billing UI is confusing. Sorry.

What’s happening? How can I contact support to get this fixed?

Thanks for the help.

Hello, I am building a partially decentralized video streaming platform. I had this crazy idea and just started building it even if I’m still not completely sure it will work exactly as expected.

The idea is basically a YouTube-style platform (with all the major features you would expect), but videos are not uploaded to the main server. Instead, a desktop app acts as a local media manager/server and streams the videos to viewers through encrypted connections and relay tunneling.

Based on the creator’s upload speed, the app automatically calculates how many concurrent viewers the stream can handle and uses a queue system when needed.

Every video will also have:

- a download button

- a “download + mirror” button

Mirroring means users can help share the same video. Example:

- creator can handle 5 viewers

- 2 users mirror the video and each can handle 5 more viewers

- total concurrent viewers become 15

If nobody mirrors the video and the creator goes offline, the video disappears from the platform until someone sharing it comes back online.

I had this idea for multiple reasons:

- storage costs are much lower

- trash content that nobody cares about dies naturally

- interesting content survives because users mirror it to keep it alive

- creators keep ownership of their files

- the platform can run on relatively cheap servers because most heavy work is done by users’ PCs

- moderation can hide/delist content from the platform, but content still exists on users’ systems

- free speech oriented platform (as long as content is legal)

The desktop app already handles:

- encoding

- thumbnails

- metadata

- streaming

And I’m already pretty far into development:

- website

- relay server

- desktop app

- encoding

- playback

- indexing

- many core features are already working

The problem is… every time I get a crazy idea I immediately start building it before even asking if it actually makes sense, because in my head it does.

So I’m curious:

Would people actually use something like this?

What are the biggest issues you see with the idea?

Suggestions and feedback are welcome.
