Hey, thanks for the detailed report.

This is a known issue we’re actively tracking. In short, the “Taking longer than expected” message shows up when the client doesn’t get a server response within the timeout around 15 seconds. There can be different causes, from network issues to server delays.

A few things to try:

  1. Network diagnostics: Cursor Settings > Network > Run Diagnostics, then send a screenshot of the results.
  2. Disable HTTP/2: in settings.json add "cursor.general.disableHttp2": true, then restart Cursor.
  3. Re-index: Cursor Settings > Indexing > Resync Index. This fully fixed it for some users.
  4. Empty folder test: File > Open Folder > empty directory, start a new chat, type “hello”. If that works, the issue might be tied to a specific project or index.
