Cursor stopped working (Stuck on Generating)

I have the same issue today, I notice cursor now uses Agent, I think with this new version, any question to cursor keep it “generating” for ever.

Hi! Same problem here:
Version: 0.47.9
VSCode Version: 1.96.2
Commit: b6fb41b5f36bda05cab7109606e7404a65d1ff30
Date: 2025-03-21T20:17:02.110Z
Electron: 34.3.4
Chromium: 132.0.6834.210
Node.js: 20.18.3
V8: 13.2.152.41-electron.0
OS: Linux x64 6.2.0-26-generic

When stuck about 10 seconds, I restart and continue, but the problem back again soon.

The problem happens whenever I take a while to do another prompt, like someone said above.

This kills the productivity.

I am having the same bug. New chats do not resolve it. The only solution appears to be to restart Cursor, but this is very inconvenient as it forces you out of any running debug sessions, resizes all the panes, etc..

This is a current issue. Not sure if it is on the bleeding edge only or their API. Very annoying and disrupting to the workflow.

I have this bug, just stuck on “generating” to be honest, recently cursor is driving me bonkers

Hey, usually creating a new chat should resolve the issue.

I’m getting this non stop too. No matter which model I use.

Starting a new chat sometimes helps, but it breaks again after only a few minutes.

Gemini sometimes eventually responses, Claude never does. Both just get stuck on “generating” and every now and then show disconnected or timed out after a huge amount of time.

Hey, try clearing your chat history, sometimes clearing the cache helps too.

Have had this issue since downloading cursor. It is fully up to date and I am on the pro plan.
Feels like a waste as I haven’t been able to complete a single chat.
What a joke.

Hey, try selecting another model, like Claude.

Same for me.

Agent mode stuck on generating.
I’ve switched between many different models, and still stuck on generating.

I’ve restarted the app and my Macbook and nothing… still generating.

Everything was working fine up until about 4pm MST yesterday, then it suddenly stopped working and will not work now.

Any help please?

Having the same issue. Agent stuck in “generating”. Have tried new chats, doesn’t help. Tried restarting Cursor, it worked for one prompt only. Effectively not usable for agents.

It was great when it worked, but this has been blocking for days.

Is there an ETA from the @Cur.sor-Dao team?

I ended up removing the latest version and using an older version for a few hours, then switched back to the new version and it started working again. Maybe that will help you as well…

May be having same issue as me too.

Mine does eventually generate, minutes upon minutes later though. If it does sound like the same issue, it’s a confirmed bug atleast.

@g4d disregard my previous post, my issue is not a bug they confirmed this is how it will work.

@Prohibit Thanks. I think I have a different issue as I’m under my 500 requests and mine is stuck on generating indefinitely, longer than 5 minutes.

@danperks I am getting a prompt that “generates” for over 10 minutes. Request ID 97ca6361-0d67-4acd-8e06-27ce80b740cb

I have only used 85/500 fast requests.

Please let me know what is going on. I’ve had to use a competitor of yours for a week now.
