Describe the Bug
On my second message to a new chat, I am getting an error that the history is too long. It is very short so this seems like a bug.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open a new chat, using auto mode Agent
- Send a message, agent does some stuff
- Send another message, maybe get this error?
Expected Behavior
I would expect my message to be sent and the chat to continue working. The previous request was a very small one with a minor edit made, so there’s no way the context window should be full already.

Does this stop you from using Cursor
No - Cursor works, but with this issue
