Cursor keeps showing “connection failed” or “VPN connection failed”. However, when I tested the connection using Cursor itself, everything worked normally.
I can no longer use Cursor normally. Basically, a connection error occurs after I have 3 to 4 conversations. This has been the case ever since I upgraded to version 2.0, and it has only gotten worse now. I am in China.
Steps to Reproduce
A connection error occurs during a normal conversation.
I’m really sorry you’re experiencing this — I can only imagine how frustrating it must be, especially since it started after upgrading to 2.0.
Since you mentioned you’re in China, this could be related to network connectivity restrictions. Here are some things that might help:
Quick things to try:
VPN Settings — Make sure your VPN is configured correctly and consistently connected. Some VPNs have connection drops that might trigger this.
Connection Test — You mentioned Cursor’s connection test works, but have you tried testing from a different network or time of day?
Rate Limiting — The “after 3-4 conversations” pattern suggests it might be hitting some rate limit or timeout. Try longer pauses between conversations.
Proxy Settings — Check if Cursor needs specific proxy configuration in your network settings.
I have the same problem after update to 2.0, live in israel, have no VPN.
Ultra user, not even close to limit.
after reinstall 1.7.54, the problem disappere complitly
