Request blocked due to 'suspicious' activity

Describe the Bug

I have been actively using cursor for last 4-5 days at normal levels of usage preparing for an AI interview. Suddenly I got the following error:

Your request has been blocked as our system has detected suspicious activity from your account. If you believe this is a mistake, please contact us at [email protected].

I can no longer use cursor

Steps to Reproduce

The following prompt first triggered it :
Modify the prompt so that if I prefix the question in ask mode with ‘qq’ then return a concise answer with just enough detail for an interview answer

All subsequent prompts even after restarting are returning this error now

Expected Behavior

It should work as normal

Operating System

MacOS
