Planning next moves stuck

Support Bug Reports
74

Hey, thanks for the report. This looks very similar to a recently solved case where extensions were causing the same infinite “Planning next moves” delay, even though network diagnostics suggested otherwise.

Try this first:

  1. Run cursor --disable-extensions in CMD or terminal
  2. In the new window that opens, don’t open a project - instead open Agent chat directly
  3. Check if the agent responds
  4. If it works, go to the Extensions panel and remove extensions one by one to find the culprit

Full solution here: SLOW or NO response from the agent

If that doesn’t help, also try:

  • Fully close Cursor → open a different project → then reopen your original project (this fixed a similar case)
  • Check if you have MCP servers configured (Settings → search “MCP”) and temporarily disable them

If still stuck, please share:

  • Which extensions you have installed (if any)
  • Console errors: CMD+Shift+P → “Developer: Toggle Developer Tools” → Console tab (screenshot any red errors)
  • Try creating a brand new empty folder project and test there

Let me know what happens!
