You've hit your rate limit on this model - Sonnet 4 no longer available

Describe the Bug

I can no longer use Claude 4 Sonnet (normal) 13 days after my renewal.

For the past few days, after I hit a rate limit, waiting for few hours allowed me to come back and resume my use of Sonnet, but today it’s no longer the case.

I hit that limit yesterday around 6 p.m CET. It’s now 9 a.m CET.

Steps to Reproduce

In any chat (new or old), in agent mode, I cannot use Sonnet.

Expected Behavior

I’m supposed to at least be able to use local rates based on your pricing documentation: “Local rate limits refill fully every few hours.”

Opted-out of the new pricing for now to resume using Sonnet.

Depending what the Cursor team does in the next days/weeks I’ll transition to a more transparent product.
