For AI issues: which model did you use?

Opus 4.5

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

The same thing happens to me with Opus 4.5.

Hey, this looks like a connection issue that’s been showing up in recent versions. Here are a few things to try:

Quick fixes:

1. Disable HTTP/2. Add this to your settings.json (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P > Preferences: Open User Settings JSON):

   "cursor.general.disableHttp2": true
   

   Restart Cursor.

2. Check network settings: Cursor Settings > Network > Run Diagnostics. If everything is green but it still won’t work, share a screenshot of the results.

3. Try without images first. Send a text-only prompt in a new chat. If that works, the issue might be related to image handling.

If that didn’t help:

There’s a workaround that helped others with this error. Solution is here: Connection Error / Stalled Agent requests for hours - #9 by Fares_Bendhiab

In short: rename your project folder in your OS (for example, MyProject → MyProject_v2) and reopen it in Cursor. This resets the local cache and index for that workspace.

Downside: you’ll lose the chat history for that project, but functionality should come back.

You can also check the console for errors: Help > Toggle Developer Tools > Console. If you see anything red when you try to send a message, share a screenshot.

Let me know what worked, or if you want to dig deeper.

Same here.

Cursor was a promising tool, but it’s becoming increasingly greedy. I genuinely don’t understand how AI was more affordable and useful in 2024–2025 than it is in 2026. It makes no sense.

I’m on a Pro plan — I understand that offering unlimited access to premium models isn’t sustainable. But Auto was supposed to be unlimited. That was a core part of the value proposition. At the very least, you could offer Composer 1 as a free, unlimited-token model. That would be a fair and respectable offer: if we’re paying, we should have access to at least one model without usage limits.
