Describe the Bug

Hi. After updating to Cursor 3, Cursor Tab autocomplete stopped working completely.

Cursor Tab is enabled in settings.
Internet connection is stable.
I am logged into my account.
No inline suggestions appear in Python files.

I already restarted Cursor, checked all settings, and tested multiple Python files, but nothing helped.

I am also attaching a screenshot of my Cursor Tab settings configuration. Everything appears to be enabled correctly.

Could you please help me fix this problem?

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey @Vitaliy_Zaripov. This isn’t a bug, it’s expected behavior on the Free (Hobby) plan.

On the free plan, there’s a limited monthly quota for Tab-completion. Once you hit the limit, suggestions stop showing up until the next billing cycle starts. The timing with Cursor 3 is most likely just a coincidence. From what we can see, Tab requests from your account haven’t been reaching the server for a while, which matches a used-up limit.

One important detail: Tab requests are sent automatically every time your cursor pauses while you’re typing, even if you don’t see or accept a suggestion. Because of that, the limit can run out much faster than it seems, sometimes in a single day of active coding. The dashboard only shows accepted completions, but the limit counts all server requests, so your usage can look low in the stats.

Options:

  • Wait for the monthly reset date shown at cursor.com/dashboard
  • Upgrade to Pro for USD 20/month, Tab is unlimited there
