Fix
Continue in Cursor
Export current code to GitHub. Open in Cursor for free, unlimited editing. Come back to Bolt tomorrow for new AI generation.

Lovable has separate credit pools. Start a Lovable project for today's work, then merge code later.
Prevent this next time
Export to GitHub every 30 minutes. When credits run low, switch to manual code editing in Cursor.
