Cursor cant connect to anthropic API.
I checked cursorAI status and anthropic status while they had an incident and stopped working now i checkede again and it says all status is operational but anthropic is still not working.
All other models work fine like grok 4.7.

Does any1 else have similar problems or is it just me?

Hey @gorsek1, thanks for the report!

Anthropic itself is up. What you’re running into is the on-demand spending limit on your account. Claude models draw from the Other Models pool, and once your included Other Models usage for the cycle ran out, Claude requests moved to on-demand billing. Earlier today they reached the $400 on-demand limit you have set, so new Claude requests are being blocked. Grok 4.7 keeps working because it uses the separate Cursor Models pool, which still has plenty of room.

To keep using Claude right away, open Signing in to Cursor , go to the Spending tab, and raise (or remove) your on-demand limit here: https://cursor.com/dashboard/spending#on-demand-usage. Otherwise, Claude will be available again when your usage cycle resets, and Grok 4.7, Composer, and Auto will keep working in the meantime.

Let me know if anything still looks off after that!
