Can't use AI: "The connection stalled. Please try again."

Hey, thanks for the report. The Connection stalled error in runAgentLoop is a known issue in version 2.4.21, and the team is investigating it. A few users have reported this over the last few days.

Try this workaround that helped other users with the same stack trace:

  • Fully quit Cursor Cmd+Q
  • Rename your project folder in Finder (for example MyProjectMyProject_v2)
  • Open the renamed folder in Cursor

If that doesn’t help, try switching to the Stable channel: Cursor Settings > Beta > Stable > Restart.
