Describe the Bug
GPT 5 Pro MAX is impossible to use on Cursor. Broken or NERFED, something is horribly wrong right now.
Started a fresh session and typed: “Hi GPT are you there?”. It took 10 min to get back with “Yes, I am here. How can I help?” and consumed 8.7% of the 272K context. Insane! What on earth is going on?
