Why does my Cursor prompt this error? It has been showing up for two days and I can’t use it at all.

“our servers are currently overloaded for non-pro users, and you’ve used your free quote. Please try again in a few minutes. If you think this is a mistake, please concat hi@cursor.sh”

Hi @laosanyuan

Cursor isn’t free. You’ll need to switch to the PRO plan or wait until next month to get your monthly quota on the free plan.

its been about 3 months and still it says “our servers are currently overloaded for non-pro users, and you’ve used your free quote. Please try again in a few minutes. If you think this is a mistake, please concat hi@cursor.sh”.

The answer is to swap around AI models until you find one that isn’t overclocked.

This is an annoying feature. I stopped paying because I use up the limits super fast anyway.
