Can comms failures cause Composer session to get into a bad state?

[three]

I’ve been reviewing a number of possibly-related posts, and comparing them with my own recent experiences with Composer.

Is it possible that broken Composer sessions (e.g. infinite ‘Generating…’) may be getting triggered by an API failure not being handled gracefully? I noticed twice recently when there were Anthropic wobbles, after the first time a conversation didn’t complete successfully, I would get stuck in ‘Generating…’. Then after that, no matter what I did, and even if the model API came back online, that particular Composer session would never be the same again, and I’d end up having to abandon it and start a new one.

Maybe a helpful human ( ) like @deanrie could mention it to Team Cursor as something to take a quick glance at? I could be wrong, but it would seem to explain a number of recent “Composer broken” posts, since they seem to peak at the same sort of times as Anthropic showing degradation.

Hey, thanks, we’ll look into it.

Just for ref, seeing more threads like:

Cursor Composer stuck in "generating" state. No result whatsoever

Hi Team, Whenever I am prompting something in composer, it is stuck in saying “Generating”. I tried to cancel and change the model, the issue persists. It has been a couple of days. When I am checking Help ->Toggle Developer Tools → Console, there are hundreds of thousands of errors and they keep increasing. They are saying “Error on Ai response”. I am not sure if they are related to this. AI chat is working just fine though. My project progress has been stalled. Could you please look into th…

Composer stuck at "Generating ..." but no output

A couple of days ago, after a long day of working with Cursor, Composer suddenly stopped responding. It was stuck at “Generating …” but I never got any output. I cancelled and retried several times. I changed LLMs since I saw that Claude was down. Same result (or lack of result). I found a Forum post about uninstalling, deleting some config folders, then reinstalling. I did that yesterday and it worked great all day (although any chat/composer history was, of course, gone). This morning, the i…

where the suggestion of starting a new Composer session seems to work, but the prior one is dead. Seems in line with the above.

Thanks as always for your help in passing the info along @deanrie
