Cursor getting stuck at reading or writing files

Describe the Bug

From the past few days, cursor for me is getting stuck at file reading or file writing. It takes ages and the loading icon keeps spinning and I can’t cancel or refresh it. It is able to read and write the same files but randomly gets stuck on random files. The file sizes are not that large

What have I tried to resolve:

  • Tried new Chat
  • Tried closing Cursor and Re-Opening
  • Stopping and asking it to resume

All of the above mentioned steps temporary resolve the issue and the issue reappears at random time.

Network is Pretty Stable as I am working on a remote VPS.

Model: claude-4-sonnet (Thinking)

Steps to Reproduce

You just give it a command to do a specific task for you and after some modifications it gets stuck

Expected Behavior

It should either raise Error that it is not able to read/write into file or stop icon next to it so I can stop and refresh the specific step

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue
