Hi I paid for Cursor which means I have 500 monthly fast request limit for using LLM models. But I never use it, I turn on using my own Claude API Key.
And now I found even if I turn off using my own API key, I can not using the 500 quota you provided, I constantly got You're using your own API key, and we got the following error from Anthropic: {"type":"error","error":{"type":"authentication_error","message":"invalid x-api-key"}}
I tried to clear the API Key I set or delete and download Cursor app again, but it still fails to work.
I go through the same.
Its a bit confusing but I try to help.
Your paid Claude account (as mine) are for Web personal inferencing, to use api keys on 3rd programs, you must have a business apikey that is billed differently, same on OpenAI. Maybe Im wrong,
The thing on the Cursor pro request, is only when a pro model is using, for example GPT4o or Claude Sonnet 3.5 in specially when executes a long context request like use Chat (Ctrl + L) with several files attatched or when you launch a Ctrl + Enter call, instancing to read all your codebase finding related code to question, in that cases uses a fast (large) pro request.
Thanks for your explanation! My friend who has no Cloud API key himself, who also a paid Cursor user, however, can smoothly using the āpremium modelsā of Cloud 3.5 Sonnet in his 500 request.
So I think we can surely use that quota no matter in which cases.
And for āour paid Cloud account (as mine) are for Web personal inferencing, to use api keys on 3rd programs, you must have a business API key that is billed differently, same on OpenAI.ā, Iām not sure but I use heavily OpenAIās API Key and Cloudās API key in many places, so I think we can use them freely in any 3rd programs.
The bug in Cursor I think is, they forgot the logic when user has use their own API key and then turn off. I think they wrote the program like, once user has give their own API key, always use that (even if he turned off).
cant you just try to revoke the api key from claude dashboard? maybe that will trigger something. curios because i also added my key and will probably buy cursor soon so i may be stuck in similar situation
Hi Iāve planned to upload all screenshots in original post but Iām new register and only allowed 1 image uploaded. (āAn error occurred: Sorry, new users can only put one embedded media item in a post.ā)
Thank you!, I finally fixed this issue by deleting my Claude API Key that I created for Cursor, and toogle on & off the Claude API Key usage in Cursor.
Now I can see the quota usage and get a response even with my Claude API Key toggle off in Cursorš
