In more recent versions of Cursor, the amount of time spent in “Planning Next Moves” or “Generating…” has jumped dramatically. An exhorbitant amount of time, is now spent in those modes, rather than the agent actually doing anything useful and progressing through the task at hand. The problem now s…

Rolling back to Version: 2.3.41 works as a short term fix

I myself ended up going back to 2.3.34. From 2.3.35 onwards, there were increasing issues with the agent terminals. By 2.4, the agent terminals were beyond broken and there were severe agent issues in general. There seem to have been some ill-vetted major changes to both the agent and the way the a…

I’m still getting this issue on 2.4.22 - it frequently gets stuck on “Planning next moves”. Not sure if this is the exact same issue, but it’s also become stuck several times trying to extract a few hundred lines from a large file (~33MiB, used to work fine). Several requests have stalled and used …

Doing Developer: Restart Extension Host worked for me on a Mac, and I had 5 stuck Agent conversations at the same time.
