And of course it starts working the literal moment I sent out this request. Apologies.

Did you upgrade to Plus very recently, or have you been a Plus subscriber for a while? I'm wondering if there's a delay or short-lived cache somewhere in our backend systems.

Hello @etraut-openai

I upgraded to Plus a few minutes before encountering the issue. What threw me off was the /status command showing the correct account status.

[etraut-openai]

OK, thanks. That's a valuable clue.

I have the same issue, on my cursor, 3 month old subscription auto renewed. On a coder workspace. On my local repos it works.

[etraut-openai]

@leogiouldasis, is it now working for you? I suspect this is just a lag (perhaps an out-of-date cache) in our backend systems. If so, the problem should go away after a short period of time.

@etraut-openai
Same issue still.
Latest cursor (also checked vs-code) when working locally all good, as soon as i connect to my coder instance the message appears.

@leogiouldasis, what do you mean by "coder instance" and "coder workspace"? Are you referring to to Codex web (https://chatgpt.com/codex)?

I just got a plan with plus, and I am also getting this message. How long do I have to wait for the agent to work? The /status shows (plus) but I am still getting the message to upgrade....
