This has been happening to me all day as well since I upgraded to 2.5.20 on Linux. Admittedly on a fairly long chat, but it wasn’t happening before today’s upgrade, which leads me to believe that something is amiss in the new code. I will try the ‘standard advice’ given above.

Hey, I’m having the exact same problem, tried everything above and Cursor is unusable. I’m in a rush and can’t deal with this. Can you confirm if you’ll find a solution and when? Thank you

Last 1-2 days the same for me. Stuck in planning next moves etc, timing out etc, all the time. SUper slow and sluggings in general when not stuck. Version: 2.5.25 (system setup) VSCode Version: 1.105.1 Commit: 7150844152b426ed50d2b68dd6b33b5c5beb73c0 Date: 2026-02-24T07:17:49.417Z Build Type: S…

Also experiencing the same issue past 3 days, seems to occur when running chatgpt 5.3 codex high. Seems it a bug that needs affecting. It’s likely chewing more tokens as it has to keep going back over code and rethink. Wasting money

Same here, I always get stuck because the Cursor agent freezes and shows the message ‘Taking longer than expected.’ I’m using Team Plan. Does anyone have experience fixing this? [image]

Same to me, and just in new version > 2.5.x

Re-indexing didn’t solve the problem for me.

Many people in our company experienced this issue, and we have downgraded from version 2.5.x to 2.4.x to resolve the issue.
