Please keep 2.1.50 available — Agent hangs in newer versions after a few rounds

Hi Cursor team,

Could you please keep Cursor 2.1.50 available as a downloadable option (or add an “LTS/stable” channel)? For my workflow, Agent is usable in 2.1.50, but every version after 2.1.50 eventually becomes unusable.

Issue: In newer versions, the Agent gets stuck indefinitely at “planning next moves” after the conversation runs for a few rounds (i.e., after several back-and-forth steps). Once it enters that state, it never recovers and the session is effectively dead.

This makes updating risky because I lose the ability to use Agent at all. I understand you may need to gate features for security or backend compatibility, but right now the result is: update → Agent hang → forced rollback.

If there’s a known workaround (e.g., a specific setting, network toggle, or cache reset), I’m happy to try it and report back. But in the meantime, please consider keeping 2.1.50 accessible for users who need a reliable fallback.

Thanks.

It will look like this:

The thinking will take forever. Sometimes it is reading a file, but it will last forever, unusable.
