Hey, this is a known issue. The team is aware and actively looking into it. Here are a few workarounds that often help:

  1. Disable HTTP/2. Add this to settings.json via Ctrl+Shift+P > Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON):
"cursor.general.disableHttp2": true

Then restart Cursor.

  1. Reindex the project. Cursor Settings > Indexing & Docs > Codebase Indexing > Resync Index. In the megathread, this fully fixed it for some users.

  2. Network diagnostics. Cursor Settings > Network > Run Diagnostics. Share a screenshot of the results here if the first two steps don’t help.

Also, if it freezes again, copy the Request ID right away (chat context menu in the top-right > Copy Request ID) and send it in that thread. That helps the backend team investigate.
