Chat loading (never does) URGENT

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hey, thanks for the report. The chat loading issue can have several causes. Let’s check a few things:

  • Developer Console errors: Open the chat panel, try loading a previous chat, then go to Help → Toggle Developer Tools → Console and share any red errors.
  • Network diagnostics: Cursor Settings → Network → Run Diagnostics and share the results.
  • Disk space: Was your disk space low during the recent update to v2.0.54? Low space during updates can corrupt chat history.
  • Extensions: Do you have extensions installed? Open Help → Developer: Open Extension Monitor and check if any extension is causing issues.

For context: this is a known issue affecting some users after recent updates. New chats usually work fine. Going forward, I recommend using Export Chat (three dots at the top of a chat) to back up important conversations.

Let me know what the diagnostics show.
