✅ **I searched the forum** – couldn’t find a solution to this issue.

🐞 **Bug description**  
Cursor blocks every prompt with the message:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/7/b/7b1ba74746893121d9d5d30df567d01f5554acee.png)

No VPN, proxy, or automation in use.

🔄 **How to reproduce**

1. Launch Cursor desktop app.
2. Type any prompt in the sidebar.
3. Hit Enter → instant block dialog appears.

📷 **Screenshots / recordings**  
_PNG of the pop-up attached._

💻 **Environment**

- **OS** Windows 11
- **Cursor version** 0.50.5
- **Network** Home Wi-Fi, static IP, no VPN/proxy

🚫 **Does it stop you from using Cursor?**  
Yes—hard block; can’t run a single query.

Let me know if you need logs or a live repro session. Thanks!

Hey, this might be a temporary error. Try logging out of your account in Cursor and logging back in. Also, restart Cursor and create a new chat. Let me know if this helps.
