hi @Andi79 and thank you for the detailed bug report.

Could you post a Request ID with privacy disabled so we can look into the details? https://docs.cursor.com/troubleshooting/request-reporting

do i need to disable privacy completely (general > Privacy mode) and do the request again?

after a few hours of waiting it’s working. i have no idea what the problem was

Usually yes the privacy would need to be disabled for that one request. Happy to hear its resolved.
