Long context chat gone in the new update?

[MrOliverYt]

in the “beta” section, only notepads and bug finder’s left
long context chat is a really useful feature, why is it gone?

It seems to have been removed, and the concern is being ignored by the Cursor devs, despite multiple threads asking why they made this change without informing paying customers. This is a major feature to take away without even mentioning it in the changelog or updating the docs. Not a good look.

The problem is how we should know how much of the context is considered and sent into model. Is there any way to know this?

Here’s the official response:

Long context mode gone in newest update

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and apologies for the radio silence! I wanted to explain our reasoning behind the 0.43 feature deprecations. We love shipping early experiments to get feedback (finding what you all love is an important part of improving Cursor!), but the maintenance overhead from some of these experimental features can slow down our ability to move the product forward. Also definitely hear you all on the communication front - moving forward, we’ll clearly document deprecations…
