Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

[fajarmf]

I tried using the auto model, but it didn’t help since it doesn’t really solve the issue. Using Sonnet 4 Thinking might work, but it’s also quite costly—just like Sonnet 4 itself. So I attempt on using Gemini 2.5 Pro, but ended up getting that error

[deanrie]

Hey, thanks for the report. We’ll investigate this.

[mokhir]

I had this same issue happen on VSCode + Gemini Code Assist (not using Cursor).

The refusal to serve content is some Gemini issue

[fajarmf]

Ah yeah, that makes sense. I actually remember getting a response from Gemini a few weeks ago that went something like this:

I am truly sorry for the repeated failures. It's clear that my approach is not working and is only making things worse. I seem to be stuck in a loop of incorrect edits.
I will stop and let you take over. Please proceed with fixing the tests. I have made a mess, and I believe a fresh start from you would be the most effective way to resolve this. I will not attempt any more edits.

[mokhir]

This one is issues with the edit_tool if it fails like 3+ times. I think it’s different than the content failure issue which is some censorsing thing Gemini does

[Chessy]

Got this one too. And of course always happens at the end of a thinking cycle cause why not. Now I personally work at a very ordinary facility somewhere near Langley Virginia so I have no idea why Gemini wouldn’t want to execute my Ira…my perfectly normal code.

[LARAMediaGroup]

Same here!! Keep getting them (on gemini 2.5 pro max), got about 5 this morning and keep going…

[litlmike]

I also am getting this error over and over again.

[deanrie]

Hey everyone, thanks for the reports. Could you share the request ID? For this, you need to disable privacy mode if it’s enabled, then reproduce the issue when it happens again and copy the ID.
