Spurious rejections for suspicious activity

Describe the Bug

I have my requests intermittently rejected with the message, “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].”

Steps to Reproduce

I’m not sure, because I don’t really know why it’s happening. It may be relevant that I’ve created a project with no code in it, for the purpose of tracking my development tasks.

Here’s a request ID: 44fe0556-1dad-4693-a4af-c2995a1d5db8

The prompt was simply, “I’ve posted the (repo name) PR.” That was one of the tasks it was tracking for me.

Expected Behavior

Cursor updates current-tasks.md and task-history.md as I’ve instructed it to in ai-guidelines.md

Operating System

MacOS

Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

Additional Information

I have sometimes been connecting from behind my work VPN (which I am required to use, at least during some kinds of work). This still happens, however, when I’m disconnected from it.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue
