Issue: High Load Errors & “Unknown Error” in Cursor

I’ve been having a terrible experience using Cursor today due to constant “High Load Anthropic Errors.” At some point, I had to switch to Sonnet 3.5 just to make a few requests.

However, even after downgrading the model, I now keep getting a red error message:

“An unknown error occurred.”

At this point, I can’t do anything. I’ve tried:

• Creating a new chat

• Resyncing my project

• Reloading the Cursor window

• Uninstalling and reinstalling Cursor

No matter what I do, I can sometimes get one or two successful requests before the issue returns.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

had a good time with claude 3.7 until now.

I have a pro plan and I am not out of fast requests.
Is this common? Do I need to wait until half the world goes to bed?

I am not going to mention the unistall issue and reinstall issue etc. Oh, I just did.
