High load issue

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

I am constantly receiving the following error in Cursor Agent:

“High Load — We’re experiencing high demand right now. Please try again in a few moments.”

The problem started suddenly today. It happens repeatedly while using Auto mode and prevents me from continuing my work.

I have already:

Confirmed that Cursor is fully updated
Restarted Cursor
Retried the request multiple times
Opened a new Agent chat

The problem is still happening.

Operating system: Windows
Mode: Agent – Auto
Request ID: 498ee400-a7eb-44b4-90ef-fa156e818381

Please investigate whether this is caused by model capacity, Auto routing, or an account-related issue.

Steps to Reproduce

Open Cursor and write any prompt

Expected Behavior

It should work
