Hello guys, it has been a couple of days that Cursor is barely usable. The chat does not process the request and I cannot even click any button in the Ui withotuh making the interface freeze. Do you know what are the potential issues? I have not many extension at the moment, and I do not knwo if it is a server problem or something. I have Cursor Pro

Hey @Recognify, sorry you’re experiencing these performance issues.

Please provide more information that would help narrow down the cause.

  • Cursor Version
  • OS and number
  • Which model and chat mode are you using?
  • Have you used up your 500 monthly requests?
  • Does this occur on a new chat as well, without adding files?

If possible, post the Request ID with privacy disabled for that new request so the Cursor team can investigate.

Hey, does this also happen in other projects?

typing, scrolling… everything is a mess since a few months.

Can we please have a Cursor-moderated, central, sticky thread with someone really looking into this? The forum keeps piling up with these kind of posts since weeks, indicating a fundamental problem. Honestly, I do not want to look into all these posts in the hope of finding a solution. Spoiler: never found one so far.

I would really appreciate driving this towards a channeled, focussed, and transparent communication.

It’s the same for me—very laggy.
This has happened on my end sometimes from version 0.50 to 1.0.
What should I do?
I just restart the cursor, and it fixes the issue.

Do other projects also cause Cursor to lag?

I did not have a single problem until 2 days ago. and it works on a specific project (27 GB). Not on new or lighter projects. But the project didn’t get bigger these past 2 days, so It is not dependent on size I guess. Maybe some package is messing up, but I do not really know how
