Why have I been having this problem for the past two days? Whenever I reference a file in the Cursor chat box, it gets stuck thinking forever and never gives a response.
Steps to Reproduce
import files / reference files，ask Cursor to answer based on the files
Hey, this is a known issue. Several users are seeing the same thing on recent versions.
A few things to try:
Reindex the project database: Cmd + Shift + J > Indexing & Docs > Reindex. This fixed it for some users in a similar thread.
Disable HTTP/2: Open settings.json (Cmd + Shift + P > Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)) and add:
"cursor.general.disableHttp2": true
Then restart Cursor.
Run network diagnostics: Cursor Settings > Network > Run Diagnostics. Share the results here.
Try a different network (mobile hotspot) to rule out ISP or router issues.
Test in an empty folder: File > Open Folder > pick an empty directory, start a new chat, reference a simple file. Does it still hang?
Also, when it freezes next time, grab the Request ID (chat context menu top right > Copy Request ID) and paste it here. That’s the key thing we need to dig in further.
Which model are you using? Are you on a VPN or proxy?
