Hey, thanks for the report. The “High Load” / “We’re experiencing high demand” message for Grok 4.5/4.6 shows up when the model provider is temporarily overloaded. It’s not related to your account or your Cursor setup, and it has nothing to do with usage.
What you can do right now:
- Switch to Auto, it routes your request around the overloaded model
- Pick a different model during peak load
- Try again in a few minutes, load comes in waves and usually drops
We’ve also seen this over the last couple of weeks in other threads, for example "High load" all the time and Frequent "High Load" errors in Cursor. We’re tracking Grok availability. Let me know if the issue still happens after switching to Auto.
