Hi,  
cursor stopped to complete the index in all the codebases I use it with.  
Even the smaller ones.  
I though I was hitting the “slow gpt4 requests” I upgrade to Cursor Pro++ (80€ not exactly cheap)…but still no codebase index.

This happens with both nightly and regular cursor.

Really a good product, but damn every day a little (sometimes bigger) problem.

Hope that u can help me

Is a bug on Cursor’s side right now. We’re on it. Thank you for your report!

My indexing is still failing - ran cursor update and did a hard reboot - anything else to get it running?  
edit: working now, another force quit & reload of cursor fixed it

Restarted, used nightly and regular, deleted index, tried with at least 5 codebases, restart linux, disabled all plugins, sacrificed a lamb, sent all my happy thoughts to cursor…and cancelled my pro++ sub in a moment of weakness ☹

It seems like it starts indexing but then stops at around 9-15%

Edit: Switching over to nightly build fixed it

This is a huge feature, I understand outages and bugs but we should have an ETA on when we can expect this to be functioning again.

Apologies about this. Indexing new repos should no longer be spotty by EOD today.

it works now for me, have you tried restarting cursor?

Also incase it doesn’t work, guess you’ll have to go back to the pre-historic age, before AI came for a while.
