I’m on Cursor 0.50.5. I get this lovely warning. Any clues? I’m on pro account, slow requests.
UPDATE: Other users on Discord and Reddit confirm they have same issue even with fast requests. This might be related to older (pre-0.50) Cursor versions.
UPDATE 2: RIP Claude 4
Things I tried:
Same here.
I’m on linux, cursor 0.50.5
same here…
Bummer. Same here.
Same here
Same here 
Getting the same thing here. Would love some clarity on this as nothing I’ve read suggests this should require usage based pricing.
looks like they just updated the frontend and didnt tie in the APIs yet. at least thats what i’m picking up from going on reddit and twitter and no here for the past 2 hours.
Some users on Discord and Reddit confirm they have same issue even with fast requests, so the “slow requests theory” is probably invalid.
Any chances this might be region based?
isnt this because we are in slow queues? im having the same problem but for my friend who still have fast request its working fine
It’s also possible that those who have issues even with fast requests, are on pre-0.50 versions of Cursor.
It’s been hinted on Discord earlier that 0.50.x is required for Claude 4 non-usage pricing.
but i do have the 0.50.5

Yes, but like me, you’re in slow queue.
So this COULD be a combo:
For slow users it wouldn’t work because they’re slow
For fast users it wouldn’t work if they’re on pre-50.
Still just a theory.
Awesome. Did you do any changes or did it just click at some point?
Still nothing here.
Nevermind. I forgot I enabled $5 of usage based a few hours ago.
It’s official then, took only 6 hours to confirm.
Definitely not going to pay for extra fast requests to test something that others get for free because they just so happened to win the monthly fast requests refresh lottery.
I’ll rather use that $ to finally try out Windsurf.
It’s really disappointing that Cursor has blocked this article title from being searchable on their forum.
same here 
This actually ■■■■ since my fast pool is 450/500 when claude 4 sonnet is out…
Although Windsurf is advanced, my purpose of using the cursor is slow responses, but now it increasingly disables this option, so we will then disable the cursor and get a windsurf.
