Confussion with API Keys, can't use Cursor at all

[gro01]

Hey! I’m having some problems trying to use an API Key which my company is paying for.

I started experimenting with cursor, I’m not a developer in any way. And I’ve reached all the free plan limits.

We have an Anthropic API Key. I’ve added the key and verified it succesfully. Although, when trying to use Agent mode I get this message:

Agent and Edit rely on custom models that cannot be billed to an API key. Please use a Pro or Business subscription and/or disable API keys. Ask should still work.
Request ID: 5e6282a9-62a7-4ae4-bc11-f6ae2

Then, after the suggestion tried on Ask mode, and got this message:

Anthropic’s latest models are currently only available to paid users. Please upgrade to a paid plan to use these models.
Request ID: d3941de7-409c-410c-b211-5ac3555b3e9f

Is this a bug? Or intended? Pricing and API Key page doesn’t mention anything specific related to this.

Thanks in advance.

Hey, please let me know if you have an active Pro subscription. Currently, API keys are only available to paid users.

well, y’all had a good run this is pretty dumb the average user isn’t paying for that

Pro user here, can’t use any API keys. Here’s the error we get all the time, regardless of the model we’re trying to use - definitely a Curso bug or block!

Hey, could you copy the error text? Also, do you have any other enabled API keys?

Here’s again, with Claude. It happens all the time now!
