Hey, thanks for the report. The freeze on “Planning next moves” is a known issue and it’s usually related to codebase indexing.

Try this order:

  1. Update Cursor to the latest version
    Some users fixed it just by updating: Agent hanging at Planning next moves due to Indexing

  2. Network Diagnostics (if the update didn’t help):

    • Settings > Network > Run Diagnostics
    • If anything fails (DNS/HTTP/SSL), try Settings > Network > HTTP Compatibility Mode > HTTP/1.1

  3. Check extensions:

    • Run from the command line: cursor --disable-extensions
    • If it works, then one of the extensions is the cause

  4. Check indexing:

    • Wait for codebase indexing to finish (you might see it in the status bar at the bottom)
    • If indexing is stuck forever, try opening Cursor without a project (empty window) and test chat

If none of that helps, please share:

  • Your Network Diagnostics result
  • The Request ID from chat (right click in chat > Copy Request ID)
