Opus 4.7 "blocked under Anthropic's Usage Policy

hitting the same issue

I am hitting the exact same issue with Opus. Any solution anybody? Sonnet is generally fine.

“don’t use 4.7” is the only thing that has worked for me. 4.6 is still working as well as ever

same problem and it has happened a lot of times.

It’s becoming really ridiculous and every legit request seems to be blocked by Anthropic.

dunno why i updated cursor today, didnt updated for a moth or so.

and now its started. all possible kinds of hangs, acces denied etc etc.

well, gonna downgrade to stable ( at least 3 weeks older)

I think this is a good point.

My impression is that, in some cases, users may be indirectly forced to consume more credits than their plan normally allows, simply because they need to rephrase, clarify, and provide extra context until the model understands that the request is compliant.

I understand why the safety layer exists, and I agree that explaining intent can improve the final output. But from the user’s side, this also means that a poorly interpreted request may cost extra iterations, even when the original intention was legitimate.

So maybe the issue is not only whether the request is blocked or allowed, but also how much extra effort and credit usage is required to reach the “compliant” version of the same request.

I’ve had the same issue. I’m working on my game while adding a simple description, it’s given me this message and won’t respond. Is there a fix?

We are unable to complete this request because it was blocked under Anthropic’s Usage Policy.
