I literally only have the basic extensions installed. ![Screenshot 2025-03-06 at 12.38.20](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/a/0/a0701b936b664c9390cba263d85f5dc990bce4c7.png) ---

11 crashes in 4 hours already. Each crash is a wasted token call which I must repeat. This is not cool. Will report back on total crashes at the end of the day. ---

#EDIT# 27 crashes now! This is nuts. So my only option for a paid product is to: Fresh install with “rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Cursor”. You must be absolutely kidding. For a paid product? I love cursor but this is pushing me close to the point of another tool. I have removed ALL extensions now to test that. ---

Ok, did this - fresh install with “rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Cursor”. What seems to be happening is that Cursor crashes/reloads a few times within VScode as it says “no index, reindexing” and the “would you like to install these extensions” pop up again. After a few of these rounds it crashes completely and only gets progressively worse. Hope that helps. ---

Sadly still have to do this every two days. Just gets progressively worse until unusable. ---
