An unofficial dated ledger of pricing & usage-limit changes for AI coding tools

A developer created an unofficial public ledger that tracks historical pricing, usage limits, and rate limits for AI coding tools including Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Claude Code. The project aims to preserve a record of changes that are often silently updated on vendor pages, helping teams with budgeting and tool comparison. The repository is hosted on GitHub and is not affiliated with any vendor.

I put together a small, unofficial public ledger that records dated snapshots of the public pricing, usage limits, and rate limits of a few AI coding tools — currently Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Claude Code — and keeps the history so you can see what changed over time.

     Why: pricing and quota pages change in place. The old value disappears from the live page and there is usually no public diff. If you are budgeting a team or comparing tools, the history is the useful part, and it is the part the live pages do not keep.

     What it is / isn't:
     - It records only factual public values (a price, a numeric limit) plus a short source attribution and capture date. It does not reproduce vendor pages.
     - "silent" / "quiet" here means only that a change was not paired with a prominent announcement when it was recorded. It makes no claim about any vendor's intent.
     - Unofficial. Not affiliated with any vendor. The vendor's official page is always authoritative. No affiliate links, no "best tool" ranking.
     - Early stage: this is an initial snapshot; a daily automated capture is planned but not yet running.
