Describe the Bug

Dear Cursor Team,

After the latest update, I couldn’t use my customized deepseek-chat API.
The API verification is successful.

When I input something in the dialog windows.

Error happened:

Error: The model deepseek-chat does not work with your current plan or api key.

Steps to Reproduce

Cursor setting → model → Add deepseek chat → input API and verify
