High CPU usage on Cursor CLI

Support Bug Reports

Turns out this doesn’t work in MacOS.

Try this instead:

cd \~/.local/share/cursor-agent/versions/
mv {,bak.}2025.11.06-8fe8a63
ln -s 2025.10.28-0a91dc2 2025.11.06-8fe8a63

Before this I tried all sorts of shenanigans to prevent ~/.local/bin/cursor-agent from being overwritten:

  • set uchg flag
  • set ACL deny delete
  • set ugo-w using chmod

Turns out Apple doesn’t support any of these on APFS for symlinks.
