After submitting user input, the agent often says “Planning next actions,” animates the sentence, and does nothing at all. I don’t understand what happened. Have some limits been reached? Connection issues? Something else? Sometimes the only thing that helps is restarting the entire Cursor IDE. But…

my experience after following this thread - 1) had to do shared (no privacy) , deleted indexes, EVERY request has to be a + new request (so I lose context every follow up), I can at least get 1 command through before it times out.

I’m about to give up and look for a Cursor alternative. I ‘m stuck. It stuck on “Planning next actions”

It’s truly shocking that this issue still hasn’t been fixed. After repeatedly suffering from this problem, I rolled back to version 2.0.77 and have been too afraid to upgrade since then. Today, checking on this topic, it turns out it’s still not resolved! The Cursor team should halt the development …

I’m also speechless with the cursor development team; it took me over half a day to figure out that I had to use version 2.077.

Great. Reward them for failure by giving them more money!

I ran into this today. For me it turned out that my git program was not functioning properly. Once I got that sorted out the problem went away. Just something you might want to try.

I too encountered this issue in version 22.4 and was extremely disappointed that it remained unresolved for so long.
