Need Urgent Fix! Unauthorized User API key

Describe the Bug

Hi Cursor Team,

We’ve run out of our Pro Plan requests while working on a few simple projects and, as expected, started getting billed for additional usage. That’s fine—but now we’re trying to switch to our own API (using o3 or o3-pro via Azure) and are getting “unauthorized API key” errors.

As active Pro Plan users, it’s frustrating not being able to benefit from either the plan or our own keys. Given the situation, what’s the point of staying on the Pro Plan for the rest of the month?

Note: the “unauthorized API key” issue appears with reasoning models like o3, o3-pro, o4-mini—gpt-4.1 is working fine.

Can this bug be resolved? If yes, when?

Steps to Reproduce

o3, o3-pro or o4-mini reasoning models (deployments) via Azure API

Expected Behavior

Unauthorized User API key

Operating System

Windows 10/11

Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

1.2.2 or other versions.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

This bug still exists in v1.2.4 with custom OpenAI Endpoints.

Hey, unfortunately, the API key zsure doesn’t work with these models yet. I’ve logged this issue in our internal bug tracker so the team can look into it.
