That resource_exhausted error usually means the Cascade backend is overwhelmed—either too many users or some memory/compute cap being hit. Here's what you can do:

🛠️ Quick Fixes:

Switch Models: If you're using Claude or GPT-4o, try switching to a lighter model temporarily (e.g., GPT-3.5) to see if the issue persists.

Restart Session: Fully quit the Windsurf IDE, clear local cache if possible, and relaunch. Sometimes it resets stale resource sessions.

Wait + Retry: Try during low-traffic hours (early mornings or late nights). This is when usage load on their infra is typically lower.

Toggle Proxies/VPN: If you're behind a proxy or VPN, disable it—latency spikes can sometimes trip resource limits.

what next

Hello, your program gives an error after 3 queries. I can't use it. Can you refund my money? I don't want to use your program.

same problem last two days, if they ain't find solution for next two days, im gonna switch to cursor.

Same here. Left with ~500 credits that are unusable and expiring soon

After latest update, this happens alot. I have to keep asking to do the task; instead i get: finished your task.

And then explains what it did (and did not edit the code).

Wish i did not update :-(

Ultimamente me estan dando muchos errores en windsurf - Next:

ErrorCascade has encountered an internal error in this step. No credits consumed on this tool call. Cuando tengo la cuenta PRO ULtimate

We should create an autocomplete as good as tab cursor then use Cline in vscode with that and ditch these fork IDEs for good.

Cascade not working. Pls tell me if you guys are planning on limiting cascade use, I will fallback to cursor

My solution was to fallback to Cursor. You need to work with multiple tools in parallel.
