Yes I do, it’s just for new comers who are used to cursor where, without careful prompting you just lock yourself out of premium requests, that’s not immediately a given that CC is more dangerous and does not work the same way at all.

In my experience, it's more about the tool's local indexing and aggressive automatic upload and model usage limitations to avoid them (and you) overpaying.

People are recreating this with local toolchains now.
