Cursor stuck on simple commands like git commit etc

Describe the Bug

Hello Support Team,

When executing the simplest commands that have always worked without any issues before, the cursor starts to freeze or get stuck.

For example: I ask the system to make a commit. It works for a short while, then stalls indefinitely. Sometimes the /summarize command helps temporarily, but shortly after that the system gets stuck again, even on very basic commands.

Moreover, it appears to be persistent and affects different users at different times. If you carefully review the related discussion threads, you will see that this problem has been ongoing for several years now

There are many similar threads on this resource that keep appearing one after another, but they seem to be ignored simply because “there was no response for a certain period of time.” This creates a false impression that the problem has resolved itself, but in reality, it has not.

I would appreciate a deeper investigation into this issue, as it clearly does not seem to be an isolated or transient case.

Steps to Reproduce

Ask to make commit or another simple terminal command

Expected Behavior

Make commit without stack

Operating System

MacOS

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hey, thanks for the report.

Based on your description, it looks like one of two scenarios:

1. Codebase indexing issue
   Try checking:

• Cursor Settings → Features → Codebase Indexing - see if indexing got stuck in a loop
• If yes, try turning off Privacy Mode (Cursor Settings → General → Privacy Mode → OFF)
• Or temporarily disable “Index New Folders” and “Index Repositories for Instant Grep”

2. Network or config problems

• Go to Cursor Settings → Network → Run Diagnostics - share the results
• If HTTP/2 is crashing, try enabling “Disable HTTP/2” in App Settings CMD + ,

What we need to diagnose:
Can you share:

• Request ID from the stuck agent request (Chat context menu → Copy Request ID)
• Screenshot of the stuck state
• View → Output → check different channels to see if there are any errors

A similar issue was discussed here: Planning next moves stuck
