[Bug] Provider Error when sending multiple consecutive Auto chats

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

When sending 3 or more consecutive chats in Auto mode, Cursor throws a Provider Error with the message: “We’re having trouble finding the resource you requested.”

The error is marked as non-retryable (isRetryable: false).

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Cursor and start a new chat session.
  2. Set the chat mode to Auto.
  3. Send 3 chat messages consecutively (back-to-back).
  4. Provider Error appears on the 3rd or subsequent message.

Expected Behavior

Cursor should handle multiple consecutive Auto chat requests without throwing a Provider Error.

Operating System

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

Hey, thanks for the report with the request ID. That helps.

This is a known issue with Auto mode. When Auto picks a provider and that provider temporarily returns an error (404), the system doesn’t switch to another provider and shows Provider Error instead of retrying automatically. The team is aware of this.

For now, there are two workarounds:

  1. Retry: just send the message again, Auto mode will usually route it to another provider.
  2. Pin a specific model: instead of Auto, pick a specific model. This avoids the routing issue.

Let me know if you still see the error after pinning a model.

I have tried creating a new chat and testing it two or three times. After about 15 minutes, it returned to normal. U should try again because it occasionally glitches. This method works well for me, but if u run multiple chats simultaneously, there is a high probability it will fail again. I currently dont have any other workaround.

@thepKz Yep, that matches what we’re seeing. It looks like a temporary routing issue that fixes itself. Your tips are good.

The team is tracking this.
