My cursor agentic mode is stuck forever. with a message “Taking longer than expected “. Despite me having a Team plan and my utilization period just started, My issue is still persisting. Need urgent help.

Same issue with GPT-5.3 Codex. I switched to Gemini 3.1 pro, it is still slow but at least it showed me something.

Hi Aditya,

This is a known issue we’re tracking. The “Taking longer than expected” hang has been reported by a number of users lately. The eng team is aware and investigating.

A few workarounds that have helped others:

  • Start a fresh chat (Cmd+N / Ctrl+N) — long sessions or multi-turn agent runs are more likely to trigger the hang.

  • Switch models — if one model is stuck, try a different one. @LisaLYW’s experience with Gemini 3.1 Pro working (even if slower) is consistent with what we’re seeing.

  • Disable HTTP/2 (then restart Cursor). Add to settings.json (Ctrl+Shift+P → Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)):

    "cursor.general.disableHttp2": true

  • Reindex the project: File → Preferences → Cursor Settings → Indexing & Docs → Resync Index.

If the issue happens again, a Request ID would be the single most useful thing to share, it lets us trace exactly what happened on the backend.

Best,
Mohit
