Agent show "Reconnecting..." after every action

Support Bug Reports

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

When executing on a prompt, cursor is pausing briefly and showing “Reconnecting…” after every action (Read/Explored/Searched Files). The message disappears automatically after a few seconds.

There is no error resulting and everything else appears to work correctly, but it seems odd that that a reconnection is constantly required.

Steps to Reproduce

Using Agent / Plan mode with Opus 4.6 Reasoning as the model. I’ve not tried other models as yet.

Expected Behavior

There should be no need to reconnect after every tool or action call.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. Brief “Reconnecting…” flashes between tool calls usually point to unstable streaming connections, either on the network side or due to how the model is handling the response.

A couple things to try:

  1. Temporarily switch to a different model and run the same request. This will show whether it’s specific to Opus 4.6 Reasoning.

  2. Run network diagnostics: Cursor Settings > Network > Run Diagnostics, then share the results here.

  3. Try disabling HTTP/2: App Settings Ctrl + , > search for “HTTP/2” > enable “Disable HTTP/2”. This fixes a lot of streaming disconnect issues.

Also, could you share a request ID from one of those sessions? (Chat menu in the top right > Copy Request ID)

Let me know what you find.

I have the same problem, none of the tips helped, I couldn’t find a solution on the forum
