I’m trying to create a new Cloud Agent environment but it keeps failing right after I click “Start For Free.” It just shows a generic error with no details. I’ve tried adding env variables, pasting a full .env, and also leaving it empty, but same result every time. Is there a known issue with environment creation right now? I’m on cursor pro.

Hey, this looks like a known issue. There are a couple things to check: The repo default branch name Cloud Agent creation can fail right now if the default branch isn’t main like master, develop, or trunk. Can you check what the default branch is on your GitHub repo? If that’s the case, as a temporary workaround you can try a different repo where the default branch is main. Error details If you open DevTools > Network tab and click Start For Free again, what HTTP status code do you see for the request? Like 404 or 500. That’ll help narrow down the cause. The team is aware of this issue. Let me know what you find.
