Cursor won't stop sometimes

Hey, thanks for the report.

This is a known issue, and the team is working on a fix. A similar bug was reported recently: Agent ignoring stop button and calls to stop in the chat

Workarounds for now:

  • Close the terminal manually (trash icon in the terminal panel)
  • Restart Cursor if the agent stops responding completely
  • As a last resort, close the chat tab and start a new one

To help the team fix this faster, could you share:

  • The Request ID next time this happens (top-right chat menu > Copy Request ID)
  • A short video or a detailed description of what the agent was doing when it refused to stop
  • Whether you were using Planning mode or the regular agent

Let me know if the workarounds help.
