Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Basically I’ve used 83% of my total included usage (and 100% of premium), but “auto” mode doesn’t work anymore. If I change it with “Cursor 1.5” agent, it works again.

I know what’s going on, but it doesn’t make sense (since it says 83% used, auto mode should automatically handle the right agent).

Hey, thanks for the report.

Got it. You’ve used up your premium requests (100%), and Auto mode is trying to route the request to a premium model instead of switching to an available one. I agree this isn’t intuitive for a mode that’s supposed to pick a model automatically.

The team is aware of this Auto mode routing issue. There’s no ETA yet, but your report helps us prioritize it.

You already found the right workaround. Pick a specific model manually, like composer-1.5, instead of Auto when your premium limit is used up.

Let me know if you need anything else.
