Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
I have been getting the mentioned error repeatedly the last couple of days.
“We’re having trouble connecting to the model provider. This might be temporary - please try again in a moment.”
When this happens, I am not able to make any requests for an extended period of time. I was unable to use Cursor at all last night. It worked for a short time earlier this afternoon, then started giving the error again.
Here is the most recent ID received:
