I usually work on a a cluster using SSH, and it works perfectly. However, for some reason, it is not working and is showing this error.

Tried the HTTP 2 disabling that did not work .

The issue I’m facing appears to be related to port forwarding. When I use antigravity on the same cluster ports, they are forwarded successfully. However, for some reason, on the cursor, they are not forwarded.

hi @Rishabh_JHA. it appears you are running into issues with the agent in your remote SSH sessions. is it consistently broken (every request will stall with this error)? are your remote SSH sessions degraded in any other way? e.g are you able to open files and make edits?

I can perform other tasks like making change and running code, but the agent isn’t functioning properly. It works for about 10-15 minutes before encountering a connection error. It was working fine before I made the update yesterday. I’ve tried disabling HTTP2 and using only HTTP1, as suggested in one of the forum issues, but that didn’t help either. The problem only occurs when I go into a remote SSH session; otherwise, it works perfectly. This is an error that occurs in all my remote sessions.
