Loops and Circles forever

I spent 200-300 usd daily with Opus 4 Max. Now I’ve been using o3 for 3 days and it seems to make less clutter and unecessary extra code. Plus the best thing, all usage have been within the included Ultimate subscription, for Opus that ran out after half a day and had to pay.

Almost excited to see what o3 cost when it starts to bill on that, like how much cheaper it is than Opus 4 Max.

I did a few tests with Opus 4 Max since the post here, and one time it was fine, another it was starting to get messy and create code / delete code in like semi-circles or like doing that 2-3 times per message.

Haha… then trying Opus 4 Max again, and goes in circles 4 times, just wasting funds. Had to stop it.

What to do about this? @Cursor please… It’s getting too much now to be honest, my last request on this was unanswered to your billing. I am not sure how much, but yet again I have been charged hundreds for sure for nothing, just random infinite circle of nothing and errors …

It’s no big problem if you refund what’s not fair, but if you don’t then for me I will have to look elsewhere. Spent about 4k usd in 3 weeks, which is fine when things work, but when they don’t it’s just not.

Yes, problem however with Opus 4 Max lately is a new chat did not help anything.

Not sure what exactly you want me to do, with the bug report.

Thanks for the screenshot.

You can create here in the Forum a Bug Report by going to the forum main page > New Topic, Select Bug Report, please fill in there the details of your issue and include the Request ID Cursor – Getting a Request ID

You can tag me there with @condor so I see the issue directly.

I confirm. For the last 3 days, Opus and Sonet in MAX-mod have been constantly going in circles. I’ve been redoing it for 24 hours, first one way, then the other. When I create a new chat, everything repeats.

Request ID is 1 per chat. Do you want to me provide them all? Not sure which chats it messed up and which it did not, just not it’s like 70-85% currently.

Any latest that has the issue you mentioned.

This is getting crazy…You cannot leave it, it will rip your card…

It goes in circles and loops forever, happened many times the last 5-7 days, actually stopped using Opus 4 Max, but attempted again today… It’s just burning through funds not giving anything currently.

Additional Information

It’s getting too much now, once again I spent quite a lot on just nothing with Opus 4 Max.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

Hey @condor I made a bug report now. But I only added the latest loop from Opus 4 Max … I would like to request you guys to look at this, also the billing for Opus 4 Max lately, don’t think it’s fair at all currently.

Worked so great for 2-3 weeks since start of this month and then no idea what happened…

Ok thank you, I filed an internal report for review.

I’ve been using Claude 4 Sonnet since it was added to Cursor. I only saw it loop once a few days ago, repeating the same thing over and over agin like on your screenshots.

Yeah we applied a fix for such cases and its live.

After a few more tests, it just seems like Opus 4 Max don’t have much memory and don’t get context of anything anymore. I have not used Sonnet too much, but quite “funny” if the problem is the same there.

Everytime I am like, okay lets try again, cannot be that bad - it’s just destroying everything. It worked like a miracle from start of July until a week ago. I spent more than 3000 usd on Opus 4 Max and was so happy. However now, I am affraid to use it and I found o3 to be much better now. So actually it’s “good” I guess, I save funds, less headaches and mess. AND I don’t have to write and complain here :smiley:

Might try that later today, but will probably be my last time. I won’t be using money to be some test person.

Did you guys check the duplicates and billing issues? With the last issue it was corrected super fast and impressed by the service. But now it’s dragging out a bit without any updates :sad_but_relieved_face:

Please contact [email protected] as the billing team is handling the requests through email.

I did. 5 days, no reply yet.

Also something I noticed on latest charges. It fails the automatic payments because of 3DS I think.

So now I had to pay a bill of 100 usd that failed, and that failed on a request costing 10+ USD. So now I can start that request over again…

This is a 10-15% increase on costs when it’s charging per 100usd …

I loved everything about Cursor and Opus 4 Max … Now I start to hate it, it’s like everything is just going the wrong way… :frowning:
