Hi i just wanted to ask that cursor is not responding at auto mode i am giving its prompt and i hit enter but then it just stops and nothing happens . Anyone having this issue ? Does the auto mode does not work when your limit is exceeded?

Hey, thanks for the report.

Issues like this can have a few different causes. To help, I need a bit more info:

  1. What Cursor version are you on? (Help > About)
  2. Which plan are you on, Free or Pro?
  3. What exactly do you see after pressing Enter, “Planning next moves”, or just a blank screen?
  4. Have you tried models other than Auto, like Claude or GPT-4?

Yes, if you’ve hit your request limit, the Agent may stop working. In that case you’ll usually see an error message. Please check your limit here: https://cursor.com/dashboard?tab=usage

Also try this:

  • Switch from Auto to a specific model like Claude Sonnet or GPT-4

Let me know what you find.

Hi Thanks for reply. When i press Enter it goes to planning next moves for some seconds and then stops like nothing happened. This issue is on Auto mode and when i switch to specific modal same thing happens . I am on Pro mode. Like i have hit my request limit but only premium modals should stop working the auto mode should work am i correct. I have seen the message only once that i have hit my limit .

Glad Cursor is working again after the update.

About your question on Auto mode, no, Auto mode isn’t unlimited. Auto uses your enabled monthly quota ($20 on the Pro plan) and is billed at Auto-specific rates ($1.25 input / $6 output / $0.25 cache read per 1M tokens).

Auto automatically picks the best premium model for the task, but that doesn’t mean requests are free. They still count toward your plan’s overall limit.
