Agent execution timeout error in Cursor

Support Bug Reports
3

Hey, this is a known issue. The team is aware and tracking it.

For now, try a few things:

  1. Clear the workspace state (this helps most often):

    • Fully close Cursor
    • Delete or rename this file: ~/Library/Application Support/Cursor/User/globalStorage/state.vscdb
    • Start Cursor again (you’ll need to log in again)

  2. Start without extensions to rule out an extension conflict:

    • In Terminal: cursor --disable-extensions
    • If it works, turn extensions back on one by one to find the one causing it

  3. Do a full reinstall

    • This can help if old files are left behind after updates

Here’s a thread with a similar issue and more context: Agent timeout within 16 seconds

Let me know if any of this helps.
