Team,

I am getting this error and it is stopping me working. I am a Pro user etc etc. I have read the similar entries and tried those solutions. Is this just me or is there a system problem?

I am using agent mode and it just stopped working and says that the Claude model does not work with your current plan or api key. 🙂

Hi Shamus, there’s an issue with the Claude API and Cursor - [The Model Claude 3.5 Sonnet does not work with your current plan or api key - #28 by cursor-enjoyer](https://forum.cursor.com/t/the-model-claude-3-5-sonnet-does-not-work-with-your-current-plan-or-api-key/40192/28)

No I didn’t - it just suddenly stopped working mid response. I see Abdulakhtar replied saying there is a Claude issue which might mean its not me 🙂

Hi Renji, what plan are you using?, I’m on Cursor Pro and have paid for extra tokens and it’s not working.
