Hey, thanks for the report. I see you’re experiencing serious Agent timeouts on version v2.0.77.

Please share:

  • Request ID:

    • After a slow Agent request, click the chat menu (top right) → “Copy Request ID”

  • Network diagnostics:

    • Cursor Settings → Network → “Run Diagnostics” → take a screenshot of the results

  • Extensions check:

    • CMD+Shift+P → “Developer: Open Extension Monitor” → check if any extension shows high CPU during hangs

  • Are you using a VPN or a corporate network?

A couple of quick things you can try while we investigate:

  • Disable HTTP/2:

    • Cursor Settings CMD+, → search for “HTTP/2” → enable “Disable HTTP/2” → restart Cursor

  • Clean globalStorage (known v2 performance issue):

    • Completely close Cursor
    • Go to: ~/Library/Application Support/Cursor/User/globalStorage/
    • Rename state.vscdb and state.vscdb.backup (for example, add .old to the end)
    • Restart Cursor

Let me know if this helps, or share the diagnostics so we can escalate the issue if needed.
