I am using auto and in free mode, which will prompt the following error message
We’ve hit a rate limit with the provider. Please switch to the ‘auto’ model, another model, or try again in a few moments.

Steps to Reproduce
Agent chat
Operating System
Windows 10/11
Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)
but doing opposite of what the error is saying, so switching from “Auto” to “GPT-5” for me, temporarily solves the issue, so pretty sure Anthropic is doing Anthropic things, aka. is down
Same! Using it very lightly today and still getting this error makes no sense. I kept getting it with Claude 4.5. GPT-5 seems to be working, but that’s a fallback, not a solution.
i keep having this same issue since 24h, it’s really annoying as it’s occuring every 10 mins.
Any news ?

Same bug here, a few times. I was in Claude, then switched to auto, got the message, then reset to auto, got the message again, a few times even after waiting a few minutes, then finally switched to Code-supernova… Working for now.
I have seen this issue multiple times this morning. Seems to be a Cursor issue or the issue at one of the platforms they use to access LLMs (Claude, GPT). I reach this conclusion because I in Cursor auto mode and I am nowhere close to reaching my Cursor credit limit / quota. This is on Macbook pro (Apple M3 Pro, OS Sequoia 15.7.1)
