Auto mode returns ActionRequiredError after June 17 Composer 2.5 incident — was working normally before

Bug report — not a billing issue

After the “Degraded Performance for Composer 2.5” incident on June 17 (16:29 UTC), Auto mode stopped working entirely and now returns:

ActionRequiredError: Total usage limit reached

This error was not occurring before the incident. Auto mode was functioning normally in the same account state for several weeks prior.

A second user on the same plan configuration hit the identical error at the same time, independently.

Steps to reproduce: Use Auto mode on Cursor Pro after the June 17 incident.

Expected behavior: Auto mode responds normally, as it did before the incident.

Actual behavior: Immediate ActionRequiredError, no response.

Is this a known side effect of the June 17 incident? Has anything changed in how Auto mode handles requests post-incident?

Hey, thanks for the detailed report. I looked into it, and the good news is Auto mode isn’t broken. The Composer 2.5 incident on June 17 isn’t related, the timing just matched by coincidence.

Total usage limit reached is the expected response when you’ve used up your included quota and also hit your on-demand spend limit. Auto on Pro isn’t unlimited. Requests first use your plan’s included quota, then they start counting as on-demand credits, and once you reach your spend limit for the billing cycle, further requests get blocked.

What you can do:

  • Open Dashboard → Usage to see the breakdown for included vs on-demand and how much you’ve used this cycle.
  • To keep going right now, increase your on-demand spend limit. There’s a Set a new on-demand limit button in the same error popup.
  • Or wait for the monthly quota reset.

The fact that a second user saw the error around the same time is probably just coincidence. With active Auto usage, both of you likely hit limits independently.

If the Dashboard numbers look off or you want to review specific charges, email [email protected] and they can check your account. Let me know if anything’s still unclear.
