Just adding for reference, I did a search for ‘Apply not working’ and here are some of the results - no definitive solutions I could find, but this sort of behaviour does seem to be resolved over time and with new releases etc:

> Cursor was working fine most of the day but earlier this afternoon Apply Changes in chat (Cmd+L) stopped working. Also noticed that Conposer stopped applying changes to files. Unsure if this has to do with my fast requests being used up since I’ve been using a ton of slow requests all day long…

> [@Apply - doesnt work](https://forum.cursor.com/t/apply-doesnt-work/4524):

> Got a code with 1000 lines of code (python), when I try to apply changes that cursor recommends, it just does a few lines / or even nothing and just says done. It is so time consuming and buggy, I have the pro version of Cursor but will not extend if you guys do not fix it. I hope for a fast fix!

> [@Apply does not work for me](https://forum.cursor.com/t/apply-does-not-work-for-me/6633):

> Hello. I am using Cursor. When I ask the AI a question in the chat and press the Apply button, it doesn’t apply. Even in files where I haven’t written any code, it doesn’t apply. Is there any solution for this? I am asking the AI questions in Japanese. I haven’t registered for a paid plan or API.

> This happens sometimes, I didn’t catch a pattern yet but if I have a long conversation and it stops applying code as expected, it doesn’t apply on a new chat as well.

Perhaps when you get back to your desktop, you could share a screenshot of the undesired behaviour (with any private info redacted ofcourse).

Oh and also copy/paste system info from:
