Hey, thanks for the report. Could you let me know if this also happens in a new chat? Are you in Agent mode? It would also be helpful if you could share the request ID. To do that, please disable Privacy Mode. Also, try updating to the latest version, 1.6.26.

Agent mode, we have a massive framework, so yes, we have to give the agent contextual information about the system and build its knowledge over time. My issue isn’t with eventual artifacts and hallucinations which are expected after numerous prompts happen within the same session. My issue is that models and cursor continues to charge for a variety of situations where nothing is produced and/or the model produces “plausible” BS.
