Cursor just goes on eating all memory untill it crashes the machine. I’m not using the agent al all, just from opening and using it as an editor and leaving it open overnight It goes up to 50GB memory, in just as few as 1-2 hours it goes up to 11GB just sitting on the background or browsing a file files during this time.
Steps to Reproduce
Open cursor on a project
Leave it open without doing anything
Come back to computer with 11GB of memory usage
Expected Behavior
I know it uses a lot of memory, but not just that much Last version was not happening this.
Operating System
MacOS
Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)
I have the same problem. When the agent uses the Todo list tool, it only asks a few questions, and then memory leak (crash app), I can’t use the Cursor, so I must close and reopen it.
Thanks, that helpmed me debug the problem. It was the background agents! There is definitely some leak there. I had some background agents thread (7) threads from starting that at cursor web. After deleting them the memory immediately dropped from 11gb to >3gb.
Last version was not happening this.
