Yes it happens every 1-2 answers. This is so annoying.
Is Cursor not properly setting up Grok 4 for their users because it’s not expensive?
I really hope not…
Thinking about using Grok 4 directly on their website.. Anyone found solutions or workarounds ?

this is ridiculous lol

Do we not test anything in a sandbox environment before deploying? I understand were in BETA (at least I’m) and it seems nothing ever works lol. Not hating, please don’t get the wrong idea just a good knee slap.

And no, this is an incorrect edit.

also sometimes (often) it is thinking, charges me but makes no changes
