Describe the Bug
After completing the student verification process through SheerID and receiving the confirmation email, after clicking the “Apply Discount” button on the email. it proceeds to my Cursor profile which spins endlessly and does not apply the student discount. The process never completes and I am unable to activate the student account.
Steps to Reproduce
Go to Cursor’s student discount page.
Complete the SheerID verification as a student.
Receive the confirmation email from SheerID.
Click on the “Apply Discount” button in the Cursor account settings.
Observe that the button shows a loading animation but never finishes the process.
