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…

Same issue here. The product is becoming unusable because of this. And I do not see a response from the company. Do we need to generate multiple reports with the same issue so we get some response?

Same issue here, I’m on MacOS and I cannot use plan mode on any project right now. It starts to plan, then gets to the draft section and then it locks up completely, I have to kill cursor and start over, tried it on various projects small or large and every one does the same thing. I reinstalled - …

Same issue Agent mode works fine, but plan always crashes cursor, regardless of project, or size of project Version: 2.4.21 (Universal) VSCode Version: 1.105.1 Commit: dc8361355d709f306d5159635a677a571b277bc0 Date: 2026-01-22T16:57:59.675Z Build Type: Stable Release Track: Default Electron: …

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…

Already follow up this case with Cursor Team. Cursor team aware this problem and become Top Priority for solving this issues. Also, for better helping Cursor Team Debugging, Alongside the Req ID(Disable Privacy first), it’s super helpful if you can open > Developer: Export Logs... and select Main, …

The need to disable privacy violates my companies policy, so that pretty much negates the ability for me to share request ids (I mean I can, but, privacy will be enabled.) Not much I can do there.

How about this log? open > Developer: Export Logs... and select Main, Window, Extension Host, Extension Host (Remote), Remote - SSH, last two only if Remote SSH is used.
