### Describe the Bug Since 1.2.4, the AI in Cursor has started to lose track of the current state of progress within a session. Specifically: - The AI loops through the active context documentation in nearly every response, even when it has just generated new code or completed a step. - It repeatedly restates or re-reads the project documentation, even when the session is uninterrupted. - The AI seems to “forget” progress or context between responses, requiring me to re-explain or re-confirm the current state. - This behavior is new; previously, the AI maintained context and only reviewed documentation at the start of a session or after a reset. ### Steps to Reproduce 1. Start a session and provide project documentation and rules. 2. Work through a multi-step implementation (e.g., incremental code changes). 3. Observe that the AI repeatedly reviews documentation and loses track of progress, even within a single uninterrupted session. **Actual Behavior:** The AI acts as if it is stateless between every response and even seems to forget the current state of progress during a response following code generation, which is confusing and scary. ### Expected Behavior The AI should maintain context within a session, only reviewing documentation at the start or after a reset. It should not repeat documentation reviews or lose track of progress during or after every response. ### Operating System MacOS ### Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy) Version: 1.2.4 (Universal) VSCode Version: 1.99.3 Commit: a8e95743c5268be73767c46944a71f4465d05c90 Date: 2025-07-10T16:55:16.443Z Electron: 34.5.1 Chromium: 132.0.6834.210 Node.js: 20.19.0 V8: 13.2.152.41-electron.0 OS: Darwin arm64 24.5.0 ### Additional Information I have not made any recent changes to my project rules or operating procedures. This issue only started recently, suggesting it may be related to a Cursor platform update. ### Does this stop you from using Cursor Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor ---

I’ve noticed that Cursor has recently started adding features to automate the creation of rules and procedures. I have manually created comprehensive rules and procedures already, and maintain a memory-bank ([Cursor Memory Bank · GitHub](https://gist.github.com/ipenywis/1bdb541c3a612dbac4a14e1e3f4341ab)). There might be a conflict between the automated and manually-created rules and procedures that sends the AI in a loop that makes it appear to be losing context and repeatedly reviewing parts of the documentation. I had to switch to Auto because Claude 4.0 is completely unworkable, constantly just reviewing and re-reviewing no matter what I tell it to do. ---

This issue is not fixed as of 11:14am EST July 25, 2025. The quality of content generated by the AI’s are currently very low. I now switched to Claude 3.5 and it gets stuck in an infinite loop reviewing code. Here is an example of what that looks like right now: Let me continue searching for the AJAX handler registration in [redacted] to ensure we have complete information before implementing the interception.

It’s not only 1.2.4 , it’s happening to every version because this is a server-side issue. ---
