I estimate around 60%-70% of my token use is rework due to cursor crashing. Cursor needs to make this right by not charging for extra work. If not, you actually have a disincentive to fix the problem.
We are sorry about this @Work_Dre. Is there any chance you can get us an export of the cursor process history? you can access that by opening the command palette via ctrl-shift-P and running > Developer: Open Process Explorer. there will be a memory history tab, where you can click a save button in the top bar.
Developer: Capture and Send Debugging Data command was run. Although I don’t know where the information was sent? What else do I need to do? this needs to stop.
Very sorry about this. We are continuing to investigate. Does Cursor hard crash as soon as you open it? We suspect there is something that Cursor tries to load that causes the OOM crash. If you are able to open Cursor, can you see how many chats you have in the agent pane, and if they are long? Perhaps you have agent-generated diffs in many files? Are there consistent patterns that cause the crash?
In any case, there is a more aggressive mitigation we can attempt: to clear your Cursor user data directory. This would start you in a fresh state which will likely help. Unfortunately, though, this would prevent you from accessing all your previous chats and settings, and you’d need to re-authenticate into your Cursor account.
If you’d like to give this a shot, I can provide instructions for clearing your Cursor user data directory after backing it up so you don’t lose any of your chat data.

Are there consistent patterns that cause the crash? It only crashes when the agent is taking action. maybe starting a server, editing code, etc.
Clear your Cursor user data directory. If you’d like to give this a shot, I can provide instructions for clearing your Cursor user data directory after backing it up so you don’t lose any of your chat data. As long as i don’t lose the agent chat history and “context”, i’m happy to try this.
