For AI issues: which model did you use?

codex 5.3

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hey, thanks for the report. There are a few things worth trying and checking:

  1. Start a new chat: If the looping happens in a long conversation, the context might be too large. In a new chat, everything should work.
  2. Try disabling HTTP/2: Settings Ctrl + , > search for HTTP/2 > enable Disable HTTP/2, then restart Cursor.
  3. Temporarily try a different model: Switch from GPT-5.3 Codex Extra High to something like Claude Sonnet to see if the issue is model-specific.

Also, could you share:

  • a screenshot of the network diagnostics results (you mentioned this in the post, but the screenshot seems to only show the error dialog)
  • does this happen in every chat, or only after the conversation gets long?
  • are you using a VPN or a corporate proxy?

Let me know how it goes.
