This continues to be a very work impacting issue for me. 429 for almost every request when trying to use any Gemini model. Using a Tier 3 key and getting no where close to the actual limit. Gemini CLI works with the same key fine

Is there any update on this? I’ve temporarily switched to Antigravity, but I hope Cursor will fix it soon so I can switch back (I’ve already subscribed to Cursor for a year).

Is there any update?

Is there any update? Also, switched to antigravity

@deanrie HI!, Any update for this?

Hey everyone, I get that this is really inconvenient.

This is a work issue, and the team is already working on a fix. For now, the best option is to temporarily use a different model (Claude or GPT).

i guess if the team cant fix it soon, we hv to switch to antigravity…

sad to see cursor still cant fix it in 2 weeks

I’ve noticed that switching to other models consumes our personal tokens. Since I assume the majority of us are using Gemini Pro via the API, this setup isn’t really the most optimal one. Maybe we should look for a better alternative? @deanrie

+1 same here. With own Gemini API key, cursor is almost unusable now.

I frequently encounter the issue. What about implementing an automatic retry policy aside from controlling rate limit? Users can configure the retry policy as interval, exponential backoff and so on.
