// WHAT IT MEANS
This is a short burst throttle. Wait briefly and reduce parallel requests; check your allowance separately in Usage.
It appears most often during long agent runs with many tool calls, or when several Composer sessions run at once.
// WHEN IT RESETS
Within a few minutes; there is no fixed reset time. Retrying immediately extends the throttle — waiting one to two minutes usually clears it.
Since 12 October 2026, The X Subscription shares a weekly usage pool across Cursor and Grok. Plus $8, Premium $30, Super $100 and Ultra $200 per month provide base, 4×, 15× and 50× Plus usage. Existing Cursor and SuperGrok subscribers may keep their legacy plans. Legacy Cursor keeps two monthly pools; switching to The X Subscription is optional.
// WHAT TO DO NOW
- 01 Wait a minute or two before retrying; do not spam the request.
- 02 If it says "with provider", switch models — the third-party API (Claude, GPT, Gemini) is throttling, and Cursor's first-party models are on a different path.
- 03 Reduce parallelism: one agent session at a time on the same account.
- 04 Check editor settings or grok.com/dashboard → Usage for remaining weekly usage and the next reset. Additional usage credits and spending caps are under Billing. When the weekly pool is exhausted, wait for its reset, use prepaid credit or upgrade. Optional Auto Top-up and monthly spending caps control additional usage.
