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
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.
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).
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
Use Cursor AI IDE until reaching the usage limit
Switch to Agent view
Trigger an agent interaction (e.g., agent asks a question or requires input)
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)
When the Usage Limit Reached UI is showing it overlaps the other information like answering question
Steps to Reproduce
just reach the limit then user prompt should result in a question and answer, you will not be able the option for answer because it is behind the Usage Limit Reached UI
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
Hi! Were are we on this? It is a major issue for us as when the conversation was started in agent mode, there is (to my knowledge) no way to answer the questions even when going back to editor mode, the conversation does not show up there at all (only passed ones when editor mode was default).
AskQuestion is also broken for me - I also ran out of usage but I don’t get the popup since I’m using Composer 2.
So in my case it’s just plain missing (in the Agent UI).
Adding my experience as a paying Pro subscriber (not trial).
Problem
The persistent “Usage limit reached” bar sits directly above the chat composer in Agent view. It cannot be dismissed. I understand this is meant to indicate quota state, but:
The product still works normally for my day-to-day use (e.g. Agent replies continue, including on Auto) — so the banner feels like a hard block even though I can keep working.
The bar overlaps / blocks other UI — including agent AskQuestion option chips and other popovers — making normal workflows impossible to complete.
On Spending dashboard, my included usage is at 100% with On-Demand disabled until reset — so the banner stays for the entire billing period (~11+ days). That is a long time for a non-dismissible UI element fixed over the input area.
Expected behavior
Usage warnings are fine (status bar, toast, settings badge) — but they should not occlude interactive UI.
Provide a dismiss / collapse control when the user acknowledges the limit.
When the product remains usable, messaging should not behave like a modal blocking layer over the composer.
@Sports_Meta The bug users were facing in this thread was fixed in 3.5. If you’re still facing the exact same bug (overlaying AskQuestion prompts), please share your Cursor version and a screenshot!
If it’s a different issue / piece of feedback, a new thread is probably best.
