Cursor does not allow me to plan using Opus or Gemini

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Using Opus and Gemini does not work for me, while GPT and other models work fine.

I consistently get this error:

“We’re having trouble connecting to the model provider. This might be temporary — please try again in a moment.”

It has already been 6 hours and the issue persists.

Since GPT works, it’s clearly not a network problem. I also ran the network diagnostics and everything shows as OK.

Steps to Reproduce

Just create a plan using any Anthropic or Google models

Expected Behavior

It should be able to create plan

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hey, thanks for the report.

There’s a confirmed conflict with the Nx Console extension that causes models to fail with ERROR_OPENAI/Unable to reach provider. Please check:

  1. Clean profile
  • Close Cursor
  • In terminal: cursor --user-data-dir="CursorTempTest"
  • In the new window, try Plan with Opus/Gemini
  • If it works, the issue is an extension or a profile setting
  1. Remove Nx Console if installed
  • Id: nrwl.angular-console
  • Fully remove it and restart Cursor
  • Re-check
  1. Disable HTTP/2
  • Settings → search “HTTP/2” → enable “Disable HTTP/2” → restart

If the issue remains, please send:

  • Screenshot of Settings → Network → Run Diagnostics
  • Logs from Help → Toggle Developer Tools → Console at the time of the error
  • 2–3 recent Request IDs from the chat menu
  • List of installed extensions
  • Confirmation whether it reproduces in a clean profile

Let me know if removing Nx Console or using a clean profile helped.

Removing the NX console ■■■■■ fix the issue. Thanks
