No steps. Memory just gone and no requests anymore.

Memory works.

For AI issues: which model did you use?

gpt-5

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

Hey, thanks for the report. It works for me if I explicitly instruct the agent to remember certain information. However, it might not work automatically with the GPT-5 model. We’ll check this.

Hey, the same has happened to me. The saved memories in Cursor settings are empty and it’s obvious that the agent lost the context of all of them regardless of the model
