Agent Looping/Response Errors/Premium Models

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Not sure what is going on but having massive issues with longer responses when not using Auto and selecting a premium model.

Responses seem choppy and will start reasoning at random and then looping the same response over and over or the response will just be cut off, sometimes with a agent looping error.

Starting new conversation or selecting another premium model does not help, still charging me for usage for the failed requests.

Thought it might be temporary but has been happening for about an hour now, restarting cursor also does not help, only switching to auto mode, which seems to severely limit response lengths.

Steps to Reproduce

Not sure

Expected Behavior

Responses to complete normally.

Operating System

Linux

For AI issues: which model did you use?

Seems to be any premium model.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Hey @Alex_Hope_O_Connor

Sorry you ran into this! Are you still facing this? We don’t have widespread reports of this, and it may have been a transient issue.

It seems to have happened a few times since, have noticed it tends to happen when I ask it to list a subset of files as part of a plan and removing that from the prompt seems to stop it happening, but honestly does seem semi-random.
