Agent-execution-time-out

Not able to use use cursor at all after the update.

Why not? You could reinstall cursor while cursor team is working on fixing. All yours settings will saved if you delete it ( like MCP or Appereance json )

Not able to use Cursor after last update. Not after disabling all plugins, restarting, etc.

Keep getting “The agent execution provider did not respond within 16 seconds. This may indicate the extension host is not running or is unresponsive.” in an “Agent Execution Timed Out” popup:

same issue

Maybe this can solve current problem ,but i‘m worried it will change my local configuration ,I not longer trust Cursor!

Yeah this is frustrating, right in the middle of my work day while trying to deploy a new version to staging and updates to production. I was on the last bug too…..

This sort of thing has been happening a lot more recently

Same here. I’m also having trouble reverting to an earlier point in the chat.

Same here, any ETA for fix update?

I think you are still on 2.4.14. Could you use the links above, or your app should update automatically to 2.4.18?
