This never happened before. I just updated. I genuinely can’t go 3 minutes without Cursor freezing for 5 seconds. In that time, I can’t type, change tabs, click anything. It’s completely unresponsive.
When I start typing, the IDE just freezes periodically. I had to revert to my old Cursor Nightly build just to keep working normally.
This looks really bad and super weird. Any chance (a) you can get us a profile via the chrome performance tools (Analyze runtime performance | DevTools | Chrome for Developers) or (b) get us the logs from Output > MainWindow/Extension host/terminal/pty host. That would be super helpful to debug and fix this asap!
you can email [email protected] and hopefully we can resolve this today!
oh no. we would really really appreciate the logs here. that would allow us to fix these issues as fast as they come. we would love to get either a performance profile here (using chrome dev tools.) or the logs. either would help us figure out what is hanging for you all.
hi i received an update just now. When I tried to install it, the installation completed, but then it crashed in the middle. So i re-downloaded it from a website
I found a workaround for this that I often use in ChatGPT: simply start a new chat to stop the freezes.
This issue often occurs when you have a long chat history. It seems that the AI needs to quickly process the entire conversation each time before responding to a new prompt. When the history gets too long, it takes longer for the model to process, and the more advanced the model, the longer it takes—sometimes causing it to time out.
If this works similarly to ChatGPT, there may come a point when opening a new chat no longer fixes the problem. In that case, you would need to delete older chats to free up memory.
