Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hi @Bernhard_Schandl Thanks for the post and sorry for the noise. We shipped a PR recently trying to be more informative to users that had bugbot enabled but were not on a bugbot paid plan, the idea being that perhaps they forgot about their subscription etc. I can see how this is noisy now that it runs constantly and I can see how it’s annoying.

We are discussing how we can revise this, but in the meantime, to stop them, open the Bugbot dashboard and turn Bugbot off for the repositories you don’t want reviewed. If an individual repo toggle doesn’t take effect, use Disable All, which is the most reliable option. Once Bugbot is off for a repo, no further comments will be posted. I

Hi @kevinn — thanks for this update. I do not have any option to turn off Bugbot under the link you posted https://cursor.com/dashboard/bugbot — the only option I see there is “Enable Bugbot”.

Absolutely same issue.

Bugbot is disabled, no way to configure it

And it keeps spamming, very annoying, especially since we have PR comments notifications

We hit the same issue as well. And we never turn on the Bugbot as well.
And it also keeps spamming us. Is there any way to fix?

We have the same issue in the team plan. It would be very glad to fix to disable noisy comments.

Hey all,

We are working on getting this fixed. Apologies for the noise!

Any update @Colin ? This is super annoying

This should be fixed now @SamP. Let us know if you see differently!

Not fixed for me

Hi @Risingtides-dev, thanks for flagging this, and sorry you’re still getting these.

The change we shipped earlier this month stopped these comments for team-owned repositories, but repositories under a personal account were left out of that scope, so the message is still being posted there.

I’ve logged the personal-account case and the team is tracking it. I don’t have a date to share yet, but this is a change on our side, so nothing will be needed from you once it ships.

To stop the comments right now, you can try this:

  • Open the Bugbot dashboard, find your installation, and switch Bugbot off for the repositories you don’t want reviewed. There’s a Disable All option there too if it’s easier. Per-repository settings for individual accounts are covered in the Bugbot docs.

Once Bugbot is off for a repository, no further comments get posted to it. We’ll let you know when this is resolved! Sorry for the inconvenience.

Same. Still happening. It adds far too much noise to my open source repo PRs. Unfortunately, this is distracting enough I’ve been leaning toward disabling bugbot entirely now. Thanks!

@jlevy It seems likely that this is a separate issue, since we haven’t had reports of this since July! Could you raise a new thread with screenshots, etc.?
