This is not related to the API key or account running out of funds. but rather due to the agent invoking a very high number of requests within a very short period of time.

It can be resolved by introducing a delay between requests. it would be nice to have this configuration option in cursor settings.

Slower but complete execution is better than having work interrupted mid-way then asking the agent to pick up from where he stopped.

Edit: I think this issue happens specifically when using own Anthropic api key. I tested using Cursor API key and the issue is not happening so far.

I have exactly the same issue, and I confirm that it is really annoying.

I don’t have the issue with gpt-4o… but gpt-4o is far less efficient as an agent.

The current solution I found is to switch off using own Anthropic API and switch to using Cursor provided key. then purchase credit from them directly. I believe they have higher rate limits so I don’t see the issue anymore.
