Context: I’m using my own OpenAI API key but no key for Anthropic. I’m also a paying Cursor Pro user. Problem: Whenever I try to use Claude, it tells me I’m using my own API key, and there’s an auth error. [Screenshot 2024-09-24 at 10.08.16]

Update: re-logging into my cursor account from the cursor settings tab has solved it.

Not using my own API key, but do get that error
