My previous chat sessions have disappeared. I had some work done and wanted to refer it but it is simply gone. It was almost 10 million tokens worth of work.
Steps to Reproduce
I am unsure but possibly because monthly api provisions ran out. Still this is just a guess all chat says archived and I can’t retrive it.
Expected Behavior
Old chat sessions are gone, I can access them normally for reference.
Hey, before we dig deeper, let’s check something simple: Agent chats in Cursor are scoped to the workspace. If you currently have a different folder or project open, not the one where the previous sessions happened, you won’t see the old chats in the panel. That’s by design.
Check this:
What workspace is open right now File > Open Recent, or check the path in the window title. Is it the same folder you used before?
Try opening the old project directly via File > Open Recent and then check the Agents panel there.
If it’s the same workspace and the chats still don’t show up, it looks more like a bug with the session index. In that case, please share:
Your Cursor version and when you last updated
The Request ID from any recent session top right of the chat > Copy Request ID
The transcripts are still on disk at ~/.cursor/projects/<workspace>/agent-transcripts/, so they haven’t gone anywhere.
