For AI issues: which model did you use?

Auto

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Thanks for the report @Abhijeet_Patil! This matches a known issue we’re tracking when conversation context grows significantly beyond the model’s token limit., and I’ve added your report.

Starting a new chat should let you continue working with the agent. Is that the case?

Hi Colin, thanks for the response. Although starting new chat is of no use, switching AI model worked for me. Currently using it that way and will wait for a fix from the team. Thanks !
