How to connect your OpenAI account to Cursor : It doesn't work

[Daboloskov]

Hi there,
So I’m giving a try to Cursor as my new IDE. But It feels like it don’t want to connect to my OpenAI account.
I setup my API Key into Cursor settings and my account is billed by OpenAI.

But when I’m using an OpenAI model in the composer or chat I have a Cursor prompt inviting me to get a Pro Account.

If I’m checking my OpenAI Usage we can see that I’ve consumed $0.01.
I tried to look around in the settings and elsewhere but I don’t know how I can make this work. Any ideas? Your help would be pretty much appreciated.
Best,
Daboloskov

Hey, if you just purchased a subscription, try logging out and then back into Cursor.

Hi Deanrie,
So I’ve paid an OpenAI for $15 of credits. The Cursor plan is too expensive for my usage. I don’t code everyday and every months. Just occasionally.

Ah, sorry, unfortunately, Composer doesn’t work with your API keys. You need a PRO subscription.
