Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

About 3~ hours or so ago in the Cursor IDE, all Composer 2 agents (and ‘Auto’ mode) have starting hanging with ‘Taking longer than expected’ or ‘Planning Next Moves’ and they never respond/answer.

Composer 2 was working fine earlier today but now I’m experiencing this issue and starting new chats, restarting, etc… no change.

Ask the agent to perform any task.

Expected Behavior

A response/action from the agent

Operating System

Windows 10/11

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Same for me.

Yep- wasted the last three hours trying every suggestion on this forum to fix it.

Auto and Composer 2 execute 1 or 2 steps and then hang with ‘Planning Next Moves’ or ‘Taking longer than expected’.

Other models work so this seems specific to Auto mode and Composer 2.

Same I also stuck without any resolution

Hey, thanks for the detailed report and the Request ID.

Confirmed, there are infra issues right now affecting Composer 2 and Auto mode. It’s not on your side, this is impacting many users.

Until things stabilize, you can try a workaround: manually pick a specific model like Claude Opus 4.6 or another one instead of Auto or Composer 2. A few users in this thread confirmed it unblocked them: Taking longer than expected on Cursor version 3.0.13 - #22 by Garrett_Giles

The team is aware. Let me know if the workaround helps.
