Hey, this might be a temporary issue. Could you try starting a new chat and see if that resolves the problem? ---

hello Deanrie, this is not temporary, I am experiencing it everyday, which is frustrating and impacts efficiency drastically,give I am using cursor for efficiency this is not good. I am expecting agent handle this, in my scenario I am using Auto for models, when experiencing a model connectivity issue agent can switch to another model and continue the process. when I start a new chat, I am losing all the context, if I resume it doesnt fix the issue, so starting new chat is not a solution. ---
