On mac since updating, I haven’t been able to send one prompt without the application crashing The window terminated unexpectedly (reason: ‘crashed’, code: ‘5’) This is impossible to use, can crash within 10 seconds but averages about 5 seconds before crashing is there nothing that can be done?? this is crazy to me

I think one of the reasons is that you have a lot of chat history. Try opening another project or creating a new one and see how it goes. If you need all your chat history, you can save it in markdown files using this extension: [image] SpecStory (Cursor Extension) - Visual Studio Marketplace Extension for Visual Studio Code - (Cursor Extension) Capture, search and learn from every AI coding journey

Hey, this error has appeared for many users recently. Try clearing the cache or reinstalling Cursor.

Will I lose any knowledge or history if i do this?

If you completely reinstall Cursor, your history and saved notepads will disappear.

clearing cache did not work at all

Which version of Cursor are you using?

Version: 0.46.6 VSCode Version: 1.96.2 Commit: 5ac4b6282478aa0f4d1bfc032412616523788840 Date: 2025-02-26T18:50:09.624Z Electron: 32.2.6 Chromium: 128.0.6613.186 Node.js: 20.18.1 V8: 12.8.374.38-electron.0 OS: Darwin arm64 24.1.0 my cpu is nearly 200% when i send a message to chat i had zero issues before updating

it was so sudden though, never had a crash, updated then cant work for more then a minute without a crash since

i deleted some old chats and no difference

It seems to be because of the larger context window of Sonnet 3.7. I am happy to let go of my chat history. But I’m finding it impossible to get rid of the chat history. Where is it actually stored? I’ve repeatedly uninstalled and installed cursor (and even VScode) but that doesn’t seem to get rid of it. I also can’t “start new chat” because clicking that immediately crashes Cursor. Other projects (pre-sonnet 3.7) seem to work fine.

Having the same issue since a couple of hours ago. Crashing after every 2-3 minutes of work (pretty much impossible to use it at this point).
