Hey @Nazir_Sriwel1!

Thanks for the report. Can you give it another try now, and if it still fails share the `bc-` ID from the URL of your cloud agent run?

### Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Background Agent (GitHub, Slack, Web, Linear)

### Describe the Bug

Hi Cursor team,

I can’t use Composer 2 anymore. In agent chat I keep getting:  
“We are having difficulties reaching the AI provider. Retrying automatically…”  
This started early in the morning today. It happens every time, on all projects.

### Steps to Reproduce

Open Cursor IDE  
Open agent chat / Composer 2  
Send a normal prompt  
The message appears: “We are having difficulties reaching the AI provider. Retrying automatically…”

### Expected Behavior

Composer 2 should respond normally.

### Screenshots / Screen Recordings

### Operating System

Windows 10/11

### Version Information

Cursor web app in browser  
Browser: Chrome  
OS: Linux

### For AI issues: which model did you use?

Composer 2 (agent chat, auto-selected model)

### For AI issues: add Request ID with privacy disabled

composer-2

### Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

Thanks, everyone, for the reports! I’ve escalated this to our devs. Will keep this thread updated.

In the meantime, you can try using a different model if available to you.
