“Usage limit reached” overlay blocks AskQuestion multiple-choice prompts

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

When the Usage limit reached UI appears, it can render above the agent’s AskQuestion multiple-choice prompt (the structured options UI). The options become unreadable and the prompt is not interactable because pointer events and focus appear to go to the usage-limit layer instead of the AskQuestion UI.

This can stall agent workflows that require answering AskQuestion prompts in order to proceed.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Use a workflow in Cursor IDE that triggers an AskQuestion-style multiple-choice prompt (agent presents several options to pick from) while the Usage limit reached state is visible to the user.

  2. Observe that the usage-limit overlay appears above the AskQuestion UI and that you cannot reliably click or select the options.

Expected Behavior

  • The AskQuestion UI should remain fully visible and interactive, or

  • Usage-limit messaging should not occlude modal / blocking agent prompts (for example, by deferring its display, lowering its z-index relative to modals, or clearly replacing/suspending the AskQuestion UI in a consistent way).

Hey @JonEcho!

Thanks for the report. If this happens again, could you please share a screenshot?

@Colin

Here you go. It’s kinda tough to see, but you can tell there is a AskQuestion behind the pop-up.

One note: it didn’t happen in editor view. It’s specific to the new Agents window. Editor view properly moves the pop-up above the AskQuestion box.

Thanks @JonEcho! I’ve filed a bug with the team. :folded_hands:

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

When the usage limit is reached, the banner displayed in the UI overlaps with the agent’s question area, making it difficult or impossible to read or interact with the content underneath.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Use Cursor AI IDE until reaching the usage limit

  2. Switch to Agent view

  3. Trigger an agent interaction (e.g., agent asks a question or requires input)

  4. Observe the UI layout

Expected Behavior

show either one or show like column flex box like Editor View

Still happens on the latest version, what is the status of the resolution please? Or at least a workaround? (if I switch to editor view, the chat/plan where I had the issue is not visible)

Additional Information

Cursor works but it is very troublesome, better for this limit to hide, I dont have access on it anyway only my administrator has access on it on the cursor dashboard

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Thanks for the reports. We’re bumping the priority of this bug up.
