Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, it looks like it isn’t disabled globally. If it were, there would be checked checkboxes there, but in your theme they seem to be the same color as the background. Could you let me know if you have a Pro subscription?

Hi!

Yes, I have a pro subscription. I increased the spend limit, but it doesn’t seem to be the issue.
20m after posting this started working again, but it stops for no reason :frowning:

Is your network okay? Are you using a VPN or proxy? Try running the network diagnostics in Cursor settings.

I’ve experienced the same issue at least twice now.

I open Cursor, and then Cursor Tab does not work. Here’s what the Cursor Tab options look like:

If I restart Cursor, Cursor Tab starts working again.

@deanrie I’ve just experienced this issue again. Are there any updates on this?
I’ve ran the network diagnostic, and no errors were found.

Thanks in advance.

Hey, this might be temporary. Is it happening in TypeScript files? Did you try restarting Cursor?
