After using all the fast requests, now instead of slow premium requests I am often getting diverted to cursor-small (in Agent mode) over the last few days when trying to access Sonnet. Obviously I’m not the only one, as many have noted stalling and dumb responses that ignore the project structure, docs, and duplicate files etc.
If it’s the Anthropic API hitting rate limits or something, we need some feedback as to what is wrong and how to deal with it. If it’s abuse/bots overloading the API or keys getting revoked by Anthropic or some other unforeseen cause it would be nice to know. In which case (feature request:) there should maybe also be some kind of alert that lets users know there is an API issue with Anthropic.
I also understand API costs are a problem, but if this is deliberate on the part of Cursor, it needs to be made more clear that slow requests are not guaranteed and may be diverted to cursor-small.
P.S. Cursor is such a great product (Thanks devs!) with Sonnet that without Sonnet working, it’s almost like we have discontinuation syndrome as many of us have found it quite indispensable! That’s how good a product it is.
Thanks.
