@Naomi_Weiser: since you’ve already tried the usual steps, a couple more questions. Does this happen with one specific model or all models? And does it happen in every project or only one?
@weie.wei: can you share a Request ID? Use the chat context menu (top right) and click Copy Request ID.
We’ll post an update here if there’s news. If anyone else is hitting this, please share your Request ID, Cursor version, and OS so we can track it.
Again today, in 2 different chats

I send “continue”, then it usually continues. But this wastes my time, and I assume my credits.
I am currently generally only working on one project. I will try to test with another project
I will add that when I work with the same project in vscode, with ai, I do not have this issue.
I generally work with Auto, but I also saw the issue happen when I directly choose a model.
This has been happening to me for several days now, in one specific project. Uninstalling cursor doesn’t help, removing all cache files doesn’t help, reindexing doesn’t help, network diagnostics look fine, same issue regardless of HTTP version or model. Request ID: 04c59453-7777-40e4-8e94-6f39f841ef55
@CUEB-QF-ZQS: We need your request ID. In the chat, open the menu (three dots in the top right) > Copy Request ID, then post it here.
The team is aware of the issue. No ETA yet, but every new report with a request ID helps with prioritization. If anyone else hits this, please share your request ID, Cursor version, and OS.
I tried reindexing again but to no success. No node_modules or dist or similar are in the embeddable_files.txt. I have no .cursorrules, but I do have cursor skills in the .cursor file.
The project itself is a ts/tsx frontend with 805 files. One important thing to note is that my friend can work with cursor on the same project on the same branch without problems
@Johannes_Claesson, if it works for a coworker on the same project and branch, it’s most likely something local, not the project itself.
Try this:
Completely delete the .cursor folder in the project root (if it exists) and in your home directory (~/.cursor or %USERPROFILE%\.cursor). Cursor will recreate the needed files on startup.
You mentioned Cursor skills in .cursor. Try temporarily renaming that folder (for example, to .cursor_backup) and reopen the project. If it starts working, add the skills back one by one to find the one causing the issue.
Can you ask your coworker to share their project .cursor folder? It could help to compare configs.
Also check Developer Tools (Help > Toggle Developer Tools > Console) for any errors when you send a chat message.
**I’ve basically lost an entire day to Cursor today. The agent keeps getting stuck mid-run and couldn’t even finish a single case. I burned through a lot of tokens trying to get it to work, but got almost nothing out of it. Huge waste of time, energy, and honestly just really frustrating. Please look into this.
I would like to add that today I worked all day on the cursor ide in Ubuntu, on the same exact project, and had no issues at all. To compare to when I use it on Windows and have the issue multiple times a day.
The major difference from my end is that on Windows, I am connecting to my linux project remotely.
I see the thread has grown, thanks to everyone who shared details.
For anyone where the standard steps (disable HTTP/2, reindex, empty folder) didn’t help, here are a few more things to try:
Try switching the model manually. Instead of Auto, pick a specific model (for example GPT-5 or Gemini). For some users, the issue is tied to a specific provider.
Try a different network. Use a mobile hotspot instead of Wi‑Fi, or the other way around. Even if diagnostics are green, the streaming connection can still drop.
If you’re using a VPN, try switching servers or turn the VPN off completely.
I collected the Request IDs from the thread and I’m passing them along for review.
