Hello,
I’ve been trying to use Claude 3.7 for 48 hours without using my own API. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to send even 1 message via Claude 3.7 because the same error message is displayed: “High Loads We’re experiencing high demand for Claude 3.7 Sonnet right now. Please enable usage-based pricing or try again in a few minutes”.
I’ve been waiting 2 days to try this model, knowing that I’m paying $20 a month for Cursor’s pro subscription.
Truly a farce !!
I’ve been waiting for 3.7 to be fixed for 2 days to start my new project. If it doesn’t get fixed today, I’ll switch to Claude Code.
If access to Claude 3.7 has been restricted, we kindly ask that you provide paying customers with a high-quality model that operates efficiently like Claude 3.5, without slow mode even if we already used our 500 / monthly queries.
so there’s a high demand for 3.7 but 3.5 is taking forever to generate code? That don’t make sense
I’ve just contacted support and although we’ve used our 500 quick requests this month, it’s impossible to use Claude 3.7.
We have 2 solutions:
1 - Wait until next month
2 - Use our API key to pay per use, but given the rates offered by Anthropic this could cost us a lot of money (just yesterday I spent almost $5 working as usual).
In short, I’d recommend anyone in my situation to wait 2 days until March 
Sure but that is if your subscription date is March 1 (tomorrow) might as well be at the end of March… depending on your subscription date.
Github Copilot has Sonnet 3.7 with thinking, is cheaper, and doesn’t limit your requests like Cursor! Only the UX is a bit lacking compared to Cursor.
Think that way:
You got more than you paid 20USD.
Cursor have the upper hand.
For $20, Cursor providing more than enough, and people should appreciate what they are receiving. Alternatively, they could wait until is back on track, as Claude 3.7 has just been released. Therefore, Cursor may need some time to allow the use of Claude 3.7 for slow pool users after finishing the limit.
Currently, I believe that the approximate cost of 40 cents per call is a high price point. As a consumer and programmer, I suggest that a value between 25 and 35 cents per call would be more appropriate. I believe this adjustment would be more equitable.
WFC on that 10 cents per call? some body take a larger meal and 20USD is already out.
for me, 10USD for my family’s nite food.
It would not be an issue for many people if 3.5 would not be affected as well. Cursor team mentioned there are rate limits that they have per second and naturally Anthropic being overwhelmed with requests BUT
This is not a first time issue.
The solution can not always be in a business setting to just wait days until it resolves itself.
Usage based pricing is also affected by the rate limits, tool failures, outages, connection issues, new hallucinations by several models including exposing Cursor internal steps and prompts to just name a few issues that became noticable in last few days.
This might be a bit cheeky, but would it be possible to access GitHub’s LM API? I have both subscriptions, and switching to GitHub as a gateway would be easy. Other providers, like Roo Code, offer this option.
Here’s my issue.
It’s a multi trillion dollar company that literally has its own server farms and it can’t provide something that works for a moderate audience. It’s not a mass market product which makes it worse.
If I am paying for a product and it doesn’t work 80% of the time and it actually costs me time and money due to poor productivity then it is 100% useless to me and everyone else experiencing these problems.
It’s actually really embarrassing for this pathetic excuse of a company (ie Amazon)
This is not a dig at Cursor. This is an Anthropic/Amazon problem scabbing money for something that is basically unusable for anything professional.
I think that’s it for my rant for now. I’m so disappointed.
