Hey, thanks for the report. This is unusual, because the error appears even with very short requests.
Could you please help us gather some diagnostic information:
Screenshot: Please share a screenshot of the actual error message.
.cursorrules file: Check if you have a .cursorrules file in the root of your project and, if so, what its size is.
New workspace test: Does this happen in a completely new/empty workspace, or only in your current project?
MCP servers: Are your MCP servers enabled? Each MCP server contributes to context, and if you have many servers configured, this could be part of the issue.
Large context: Are you adding folders/files with a very large number of lines to the context?
Codebase indexing: Check the codebase indexing status.
In the meantime, you can try:
Temporarily disabling codebase indexing to see if context calculation is causing the issue.
Testing in a new empty folder to check if the problem is specific to this project.
With this additional information, I can escalate the issue to engineering if needed, since it looks like this might be a regression in version 2.1.17.
