Agents are very slow to execute

[deanrie]

Hey, thanks for the report.

Let’s quickly check a few things:

1. App Settings → find HTTP/2 → turn on “Disable HTTP/2,” then restart Cursor.
2. Check extensions: start Cursor with extensions disabled
   • Open a terminal and run: cursor --disable-extensions
   • Test the agent. If it’s faster, disable extensions one by one to find the problematic one
   • Example fix: SLOW or NO response from the agent
3. In the agent chat, ask to clear the TODO list or start a new chat
   • Example: TODOs in Plan mode stay there forever and slows down entire application
4. Run Settings → Network → Run Diagnostics and share a screenshot.
5. If the issue persists, please send 2-3 Request IDs from the stuck attempts:
   • How to get them: Getting a Request ID | Cursor Docs

Additionally, please specify:

• Whether you use a VPN/proxy/corporate network
• Whether there are any MCP servers
• Whether it reproduces in a brand‑new chat/empty folder

Let me know what changes after these steps.
