Cursor Pro Plan – Extremely Slow or No Responses Since Yesterday

[cl_sun]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

I’m a Pro Plan user, and since yesterday I’ve been experiencing serious response delays in Cursor.
When I send a message, the editor shows “waiting” for a very long time — sometimes several minutes, sometimes it never responds at all. There’s no error message or timeout warning, just an endless loading state.
This issue started suddenly yesterday and has been consistent since then. I’ve already tried: Restarting Cursor.Logging out and back in.Checking my network connection (it’s stable).
But the problem persists.

Steps to Reproduce

Open Cursor.
Start a new chat or open an existing file.
Type any normal query .
Press Enter and wait for the response.

Operating System

Windows 10/11

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

+1 . Cursor Pro plan

Since the rate limit error 2-3 days ago followed by ‘some’ fix , the auto mode has become inefficient.

• It has become slow

• Takes lot of time to scan the code

• Quality of fix ‘feels’ degraded. It goes off charts and I had to stop the corrections midway couple of times, to provide more inputs

• I use the same coding style as earlier, but now it ‘feels’ degraded

• Have to redo the tasks as now the auto mode doesn’t get it right in the first go

hi @cl_sun thank you for the detailed bug report.

When you checked the network connection, did you use Settings > Network > Run Diagnostics? Please try that and report here the output.

@manishkhanna also good feedback but it is unrelated to “Pro Plan” or OG’s reported issue. You may wanna file a full separate Bug Report with more info Create Bug Report

@condor :
New to cursor. Mentioned plan it case it matters ( for limits ) .

Things are tad better today. In case the slowness resumes, I will create a separate bug.

However quality of response is subjective and not sure how it can be measured.
Like - I sent the prompt to organize a particular folder. Approved the plan then let the agent take over .

• It had to create an archive folder and move few files there.
• The agent created an archive ‘file’ instead of folder.
• It then kept on trying to move the files but failed
• Eventually , it deleted all those files instead of archiving and generated a summary that files were moved to archive.
• In next prompt when I mentioned the mistake, the agent acknowledge and tried to recreate the deleted files. Which were only partially recovered
• I had not committed hence was able to undo the deletion. Created the folder myself. After that the agent took over without any issue.

Before the rate limit issue, such a thing never happened. And cursor was able to handle complex tasks efficiently even in auto mode.
