Model Access issues

[j-gorski]

I’m experiencing several issues with accessing different AI models in Cursor:

1. I have 500 unused fast requests in my quota, but all my queries appear to be going through my own API keys (marked as “User API Key” in the usage history).

2. When trying to use deepseek-r1, I receive this error:

Request failed with status code 404: {
    "error": {
        "message": "The model `deepseek-r1` does not exist or you do not have access to it.",
        "type": "invalid_request_error",
        "param": null,
        "code": "model_not_found"
    }
}

3. When attempting to use gemini-2.0-flash, I get “Unauthorized User API Key” errors, despite my API being verified in the panel.

4. OpenAI and Claude models work via API, but Claude 3.7 sometimes has availability issues, forcing me to temporarily switch to OpenAI’s o3 model (which I personally find less effective).

I’m logged in with my correct email and can see my dashboard. Has anyone else encountered similar problems or know how to resolve these issues?

Hey, you need to disable your API key if you want to use the models from your Pro subscription.

what about access to deepseek-r1 I had it before…

Is it not in your list of models? If it’s not there, you can add it manually, but usually, disabling the API key and restarting Cursor helps.
