Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Guys what is happening with cursor lately, I ask it to do this and that, and then during the work as its doing it, it drop all by itself leaving the task uncompleted like that, which doesn’t make any sense at all…

Is it happening at my end only or anyone also experiencing the same thing?

It seems like its running but not doing anything

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hey, thanks for the report.

First and most important, you’re on 2.4.31 (Feb 8), and the current version is already 2.6.x. There have been a lot of agent stability fixes since then. Please update Cursor via Help > Check for Updates and see if the issue still happens.

If it still reproduces after updating:

  • When the agent hangs, copy the Request ID (chat top right menu > Copy Request ID) and paste it here. We need it to investigate on the backend.
  • Run the network diagnostics: Cursor Settings > Network > Run Diagnostics, then share the results.
  • Are you using a VPN or proxy? If yes, try without them.

This is a known issue and the team is aware. You can see similar reports here: Taking longer than expected.

Let me know how it goes after the update.

Hi thanks for swift reply! I did exactly as you asked and it worked, actually it was a vpn issue in the back, but I thought that restarting cursor would update it, but it didn’t, so I had to manully update it by clicking on the update cursor. I think that’s a low level bug and can be looked into later
