Hey, thanks for the report. This isn’t an issue with your account. Cursor Grok 4.5 is currently hitting a temporary load limit on their side capacity protection, so you’re seeing High Load or `ERROR_RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED`.

One key thing: if you keep retrying in the same chat, it’ll keep failing until the load drops. What helps right now:

- Start a new chat with Grok 4.5. This is the key part. Retrying in the old thread won’t go through.
- Or switch to Auto or another model for now.

Once capacity is back, Grok 4.5 should work normally again. Let me know if it still fails after starting a new chat.
