I’m hitting this same issue and can add a data point. Account email: [your Cursor account email] Platform: macOS on Apple Silicon (M4) Grok Bot version: 0.24.0 (auto-updated from 0.18.0 the morning of Aug 21) Timezone: [your timezone] Symptom: First-time setup fails every attempt with the exact error “Bot couldn’t finish setting up — Can’t reach your computer right now. Check your connection and try again.” The agent computer has never finished provisioning, and Settings → Beta shows no recovery options (nothing to recover — the computer was never created). Evidence it’s not local (checked Aug 20–21): - The assigned pod (_-pod-_-1340.us10.cursorvm.com) returned 503 with a valid x-anyrun-network-token header on Aug 20, and the local sand-local-exec-daemon respawned in a loop (135+ starts that day). - No VPN interference: no Tailscale exit node, traffic egresses direct over Wi-Fi (en0), and the cursorvm edge answers probes in ~0.2s. - Grok Bot makes only outbound connections; no firewall involvement. - Clean reinstall/update to 0.24.0 changed nothing, consistent with staff’s note that this is server-side. Latest failure: Aug 21, morning–midday (local time). ---
