Describe the Bug
Previously, when a conversation became too long, a small “+” button appeared, suggesting to start a new chat while carrying over the current conversation’s context. This button is now gone. Instead, there is a token usage progress bar for the current conversation. I used to start a new chat when the bar was almost full, but I recently noticed that this bar seems cyclical/automatic.
Steps to Reproduce
1. Start a long conversation in Cursor.
2. Observe that the “+” button no longer appears when the conversation grows long.
3. Notice a token usage progress bar appears instead.
4. Keep chatting until the bar fills — it resets automatically instead of requiring a new chat.
Expected Behavior
When the token usage bar reaches its limit, either:
• Automatically carry over the conversation context to a new chat (like before), or
• Provide an option to start a new chat with the current context.

Additional Information
• In this new mode, if I don’t start a new conversation, will response speed become slower?
• Will token consumption be too large?
• Does the automatic mode still work like the previous “carry over context” feature?
• Should I still worry about starting a new conversation manually?
Does this stop you from using Cursor
No - Cursor works, but with this issue
