I tried the solution from Cannot register OpenAI API Key, but when hitting this toggle, the custom API key toggle doesn’t stay on.

I’m overriding the base URL, trying to call models from openrouter, but I keep getting ‘this model isn’t support on your plan’

Thanks for taking a look!

I have the same issue making cursor completely unusable.
openai api key toggle does not work and even when i had it on the openrouter models would not work.

I am having a similar issue that the offical openai api has been working though i toggled it off, but when i try to toggle it back on to, or click verify and click ‘enable openai api key’ nothing happens i.e. does not enable. my openai account has credit and no limits reached. Cursor v1.0.0

solved my issue, and apologies to hijack this bug report, though the ‘Verify’ option uses openai model ‘gpt-4o’ and so if its disabled, then you cannot enable/verify the openai API key.
