Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report.

You’ve reached your normal usage limit, and the system suggests switching to Composer to use free credits. But from your first message, after clicking “Switch to Composer,” the model still stays unavailable.

Could you please share:

1. What’s your subscription plan (Free/Pro/Business)?
2. What exactly happens after you click “Switch to Composer”? Do you see any error messages?
3. Does Composer 1 with free credits work in the main Cursor app?

This looks like a bug. There was a similar issue in November when Composer 1 free credits weren’t applied for users at 100% usage. It might have resurfaced, or there’s a specific error now.

It recovered automatically, and

1. I am business plan.
2. As the same as the photo I shared, no more info or error message.
3. Not work while I post the problem

By the way, I did nothing for its recovary
