Cursor memory doesn't longer work

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Describe the Bug

After one of recent update (don’t know which exactly) I see my chat memories are lost (empty in Cursor settings). I don’t see requests to add anything to memory as it was before.

Steps to Reproduce

No steps. Memory just gone and no requests anymore.

Expected Behavior

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

Thank you so much for posting this! I was absolutely panicking because my memories are my gold at the moment - although I know I should create them as rules really! - but to think they were all gone was totally gutting. Rolled back to 1.6.42 and all the memories are back, so I won’t upgrade now until this bug has been fixed, which is hopefully soon…

No worries! Glad to help!

Same problem for me. New memories are never created and it shows that there are no memories saved.
