Conversation Too long

Hi,

Is there a new limit on conversation length? This is quite inconvenient, as the cursor should automatically manage conversation history or use specific code within the conversation. Instead, we are forced to manually create a new conversation.
Note: my last message is very short, this is due to long conversation history.

Thank you!


oo

That is automatic management. When your Chat thread gets too long it threatens to overwhelm the model and it would not work well anymore, Cursor shows you this message.

Also Cursor does manage quite a bit but it cant just summarize everything as how would it know what remains relevant or what isnt.

What is the issue with this message?

In a thread which reaches a token limit its likely that you already experienced hallucinations anyway in previous messages (if you know it or not).

I myself see after 5-6 prompts in a chat slowly most models starting to hallucinate. Which matches with the prompts context limit
