Cursor is up
Cursor reports no problem with Cursor right now.

If Cursor has stopped working for you anyway, the cause is almost certainly your own usage limit, not Cursor.

The panel above is Cursor’s own reading, taken from status.cursor.com, not a measurement of ours. When the IDE shows as operational and requests still fail, the cause is usually one model provider or your own usage, not Cursor as a whole.
Outage, or your own limit?
Start with the error. An outage gives you connection failures or timeouts across every model, and the panel above turns amber or red. A problem with one model provider shows up as failures on that model only, so switch models before you do anything else. A usage problem names itself: Cursor tells you when included usage has run out or your spend limit is reached. A “rate limited by model provider” message is the one-provider case, not your plan; what it means and when to wait or switch is in Cursor rate limits explained.
To check usage on The X Subscription, open Usage at grok.com/dashboard, which shows the weekly pool used, the next reset and your prepaid credit; on a legacy plan, sign in at cursor.com/dashboard and open the Spending tab, which shows both pools, remaining allowance and on-demand charges. The step-by-step version is in how to check Cursor usage.

Common questions
- Is Cursor down right now?
- The live panel at the top of this page shows Cursor's own status for the IDE, the CLI, Cloud Agents and cursor.com, read from status.cursor.com and refreshed every minute. If everything there is operational and requests still fail, look at the model you picked and at your usage before assuming an outage.
- Cursor is up but one model keeps failing. Why?
- Cursor routes requests to several model providers, and its incidents often name a single model or provider rather than the whole editor. Switching to another model is usually the fastest workaround while that provider recovers.
- How do I check my Cursor usage?
- On The X Subscription, open Usage at grok.com/dashboard: it shows how much of your weekly pool you have used, the next reset and your prepaid credit, and your editor settings show the same. On a legacy plan (Pro, Pro+ or the old Ultra), sign in at cursor.com/dashboard and open the Spending tab for both pools, remaining allowance and on-demand charges.
- Where is Cursor's official status page?
- status.cursor.com. The panel on this page relays it and adds nothing of its own.
- How do I see my Cursor spend without opening the dashboard?
- SessionWatcher keeps your Cursor included credits and model spend in the Mac menu bar or the Windows taskbar, so you see the budget move while you work instead of finding out from a failed request.
