Cursor runs very slowly and gets stuck on “Planning next moves

[Abdullah_Nasr]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

I noticed that Cursor runs very slowly, for example, it often gets stuck on “Planning next moves.”

How can I investigate this?

Also with simple messages like ‘Hello’, it stuck on “Planning next moves.”

Cursor settings > Network > Run Diagnostic: All fine
Tried also to change different HTTP Compatibility Mode.

Steps to Reproduce

Just open cursor and prompt something.

Operating System

MacOS

Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

Hey, thanks for the report. We’re seeing “Planning next moves” hang for multiple users on recent versions.

Please share:

• Request IDs - In the stuck chat, open the context menu (top right) > Copy Request ID
• Console errors - Before it hangs: Help > Toggle Developer Tools > Console tab - share any errors
• Empty project test - Does this happen in a new/empty project with a fresh chat?
• Extensions/MCP - Do you have any extensions or MCP servers installed (GitHub, Atlassian, etc.)?

Also try these workarounds:

• Launch Cursor from the terminal with cursor --disable-extensions to check if extensions are causing it
• Switch between HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 in Settings > Network > HTTP Compatibility Mode (even if diagnostics passed)
• Restart your router/Wi‑Fi if you haven’t already

Let me know what you find.
