Message too long

Hi guys,

I keep seeing this error in the composer chat, I’ve started multiple new chats but keeps happening, I’ve tried changing between gpt-4o and sonnet with the same result. I’m only referencing a single file which is 17 lines, even on the first message I get hit with it. I still have 173 premium requests left for the month. Currently running version: 0.44.11.

Your message is too long. Please try again with a shorter message and fewer/smaller attached items

Did a complete reboot and it’s now messaging back however when attempting to make any changes to files it fails and gives up?

Hey, can you follow this guide and get us a request ID for when you recieve the message too long error: Troubleshooting / Request ID – Cursor

If that is now fixed, can you send a screenshot with an example of where the Composer fails to make any edits?

I had the same problem, and what also happened was I received a text from my credit card asking if I approved a charge. I didn’t notice the text at first, but after I hit confirm, the cursor started working again. There might be a hold on your payment.

Is this an error that the user is supposed to see? Seems like the agent should deal with it best effort

Hey guys, I love the product, but am seeing this “Message Too Long” error for every chat now. This is making the product unusable for me. Please help us.

@danperks any update on above? 2dc7977d-f7de-472d-a7b5-54771bc2bca3 is a sample request id for above.

Would like to get an update here as well. This is making it very hard to use the product.

I started to get “Your message is too long. Please try again with a shorter message and fewer/smaller attached items.” for every request now. Please fix this.

also getting this error often, not able to give a reference id because it doesnt pass the first request or sends the data. VSCode with Copilot is able to handle the same request without any issues

ok here’s mine just started happening for me today

Here’s it happening even on older version. I’m going to restart and see if that fixes it
