## Title

    Research note: Bug/Help: Other Models % hits 100% while usage-export at published API rates only reconstructs ~65% — how to reconcile t

## Body

    What I found:
    Cursor documents two separate monthly usage pools and states that when a specific third-party model is selected, usage is drawn from the Other Models pool at that model’s API rate; both pools are visible in editor settings and on the usage dashboard.
    The retrieved official Models & Pricing markdown describes pools, plan inclusion of Other Models, and per-model $/1M pricing tables but does not document a formula tying the Other Models dashboard percentage to Usage CSV token totals times published rates divided by a stated dollar cap.
    
    Evidence:
    https://cursor.com/docs/models-and-pricing.md · https://forum.cursor.com/t/bug-help-other-models-hits-100-while-usage-export-at-published-api-rates-only-reconstructs-65-how-to-reconcile-the-meter/172012
    
    Still unknown:
    Whether Cursor internally still meters Other Models against a ~$400 Ultra ceiling, a lower effective cap, or non-dollar units that can make the bar reach 100% while included-dollar summaries still show headroom.
    
    Useful next check:
    Whether Cursor internally still meters Other Models against a ~$400 Ultra ceiling, a lower effective cap, or non-dollar units that can make the bar reach 100% while included-dollar summaries still show headroom.
