Azure GPT-5 API Key Not Working – Internal Server Error

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Hi!

I am trying to cover my Cursor token usage through my Azure account.

I have free credits there and want to use them.

Steps to Reproduce

I have set up Azure as I think is correct and it passes the test on cursor’s side (as it accepts the deployment and marks as active, which it does not do if I use e.g. the wrong name for the deployment or the wrong key).

I can see in Azure that 30ish tokens are being sent, probably for the check.

I get an error message

Expected Behavior

No error message and simple usage

Does this stop you from using Cursor

I’ve also tried to change the deployment name in my azure environment to exactly match the model choices I have in cursor (“gpt-5-high”) with same upper/lower case characters in case it’s case sensitive. - Nothing.

Is there an estimation when this will be fixed? If not I might have to get back to vs code + claude code instead.
