Hey, this is a known issue. Getting stuck on “Planning next moves” is often related to Auto mode and or network behavior.
Try this:
-
Switch from Auto to a specific model like Claude 4.6 Sonnet or GPT-5. A few users confirmed this helps work around it: My chats are just hanging with "Planning next moves" and "Taking longer than expected..."
-
Disable HTTP/2: Settings Ctrl+, then search for HTTP/2 then enable Disable HTTP/2 then fully restart Cursor.
-
Run Cursor Settings > Network > Run Diagnostics and paste the results here. This will show if there are network issues.
Also, please share your exact Cursor version via Help > About, and the Request ID from the stuck chat via right top chat menu > Copy Request ID.
The team is aware of this issue. Let me know if switching the model helped.
