Addition Request consumed on AskQuestion timeout

Support Bug Reports

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Hi,
I’ve noticed that when the agent ends its turn with an AskQuestion call and I don’t respond (e.g., I step away from the computer), the session seems to time out after a few minutes. When I come back, a request has been consumed — even though I never interacted with the chat.
Actual behavior:
The timeout appears to trigger something internally that counts as a consumed request, despite no user interaction.
I don’t recall this happening in older Cursor versions — not sure if it’s a recent change.
Environment: Linux (Manjaro), latest Cursor version
Is this intended behavior, or a bug?

Steps to Reproduce

Agent completes a task and ends with an AskQuestion (multiple choice)
Don’t respond — leave the chat idle
After a few minutes, the turn appears to auto-complete/timeout
One request is consumed without any user action

Expected Behavior

If the user doesn’t respond to an AskQuestion, the session should either stay open indefinitely or close gracefully without consuming an additional request.

Operating System

Linux

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hi @AndreasM1, thanks for the report.

To help the team look into it, could you provide a Request ID for one of the affected sessions? You can get it from the chat context menu (top right of a message) > Copy Request ID, or via CMD/CTRL + Shift + P > Report AI Action to find historical ones. More details here: Request Reporting

Problem have happened with the latest version some Minutes ago.. Again one Request visible in my Dashboard which is used automatically and just with some Tokens.. but on Legacy Pro plan this is one of my 500 Requests per Month… every time when a Session timeouts with an Ask Tool Call which is not being answered by me.
