Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Cursor says I’ve hit my usage limit while I only am at 53%.

I’m including my usage page. I’ve only run about 3 queries today and this error popped up. (edited cause the system bot keeps unlisting my post.)

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hey, thanks for the report. I see the screenshot. The included usage bar is at 53%, and it resets on July 9.

One important thing. That bar shows your monthly included pool, but it’s not the only limit. On the Free plan, there are also short-lived rate limits that can trigger during high load, even if the monthly bar isn’t full. This message usually clears on its own after a bit. Limits can also differ by model, so you can hit one limit while another bar still isn’t full.

To figure out what you’re hitting, can you share:

  • The exact error message text, or a screenshot of the message in chat, not the usage bar
  • The Request ID from the failing request. Top-right chat menu > Copy Request ID
  • Which model you used

With that, we can check what’s going on.
