Allow to force timer

Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

Sometimes cursors wait too long. It would be nice to zerofy timer if I see that event already happened.

Eg here Cursor scheduled to wait 5 mins, but I see that the operation is ready now, I do not want to wait another 2m 16s.

It would be nice to have button “ready” which turns timer to 0m 2s for example.

Operating System (if it applies)

MacOS

Hey Eugen — thanks for the suggestion and the screenshot. this is a good idea.

For context, that “Waiting” countdown is the agent’s own scheduled wait: when it starts something slow (a CI run, build, or long command), it estimates how long that should take and waits before checking back in, so it isn’t constantly polling. The length is chosen per-operation and isn’t capped on purpose, since some tasks genuinely need to run long.

But you’re right that if you can already see it’s finished, sitting through the rest of the timer is wasted time. We’ll leave this thread up for other folks to weigh in and share their thoughts!
