For AI issues: which model did you use?

GPT-5-hight

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

Hey, thanks for the report. Just to clarify, are you expecting to receive notifications (sound/system alert) when AI requests fail due to network errors?

Currently, notifications are intended for successful task completions. Could you share:

  • What specific network error you encountered (exact message if possible)?
  • Does this happen with other models too, or only with GPT-5?
  1. All kinds of errors can occur, and network requests are just one type of error
  2. All models will experience this
