Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Try a different model (composer, GPT, etc ) and tweak your prompt a bit if you can.
I’ve seen this happen also when someone has shoving huge binary files into the prompt (I assume that’s not what you’re doing) but just a heads up that could trigger it as well.

Nothing has changed in my workflow or model selection between the previous Cursor release and this latest Cursor release so I am reluctant to burn time or brain cells tweaking workflows for what was previously working without issue. Everything actually appears to continue working fine and it is not at all clear exactly what was in the request that caused the dialogue/warning. At this stage it is just annoying.

I understand. It’s possible that the Anthropic Support team may be able to give you more insight into why your request was blocked. I imagine it’s a false positive. Where can I go for Claude API support and assistance? | Claude Help Center
