### Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

### Describe the Bug

When Claude Sonnet 4.5 needs to create a context summary, it seems to freeze on `Planning next moves` for ages. He only does that when context is full. After 5-10min generally, it says `Contextext summarized` and then continues normally

### Steps to Reproduce

Normal usage

### Expected Behavior

Fast  
Should say ‘Summarizing context…’, and be like 10s-long max

### Screenshots / Screen Recordings

Hey, thanks for the report.

There’s a related bug we’re already tracking:

- Main thread: [The Cursor IDE freezes at the "planning next moves" stage](https://forum.cursor.com/t/the-cursor-ide-freezes-at-the-planning-next-moves-stage/140553)
- Similar cases: [Planning next moves stuck](https://forum.cursor.com/t/planning-next-moves-stuck/143985), [Cursor is unresponsive after sending a prompt to plan](https://forum.cursor.com/t/cursor-is-unresponsive-after-sending-a-prompt-to-plan/145169)

To link your case, please share:

- 2-3 Request IDs captured during the long wait
- A screenshot of Settings - Network - Run Diagnostics
- Indexing & Docs status for your project and for a small empty folder - screenshots
- Whether this helps: Settings - search “HTTP/2” - enable “Disable HTTP/2” - restart
- Behavior on other models (e.g., Composer 1, Haiku 4.5, Opus 4.5) compared to Sonnet 4.5
- Errors from Help - Toggle Developer Tools - Console during the wait

Quick checks:

- In a new chat, run /summarize until context is summarized: [Summarization | Cursor Docs](https://cursor.com/docs/agent/chat/summarization)
- Try the same request in a small repo or an empty folder - compare time to “Context summarized”

Once you share the details, I’ll add them to the ticket.

Indexing & Docs status for your project and for a small empty folder - screenshots  
_I dont understand the question_

Whether this helps: Settings - search “HTTP/2” - enable “Disable HTTP/2” - restart  
→ Doesn’t help

Behavior on other models (e.g., Composer 1, Haiku 4.5, Opus 4.5) compared to Sonnet 4.5  
→ Composer 1, Opus 4.5, Gemini 3 Pro : same

Errors from Help - Toggle Developer Tools - Console during the wait

Errors: 4

Thanks for the data. From the DIAG and console, it’s an HTTP/2 network error - `NGHTTP2_REFUSED_STREAM`. A few steps to narrow it down:

1. In settings.json, force set:  
`"cursor.general.disableHttp2": true`  
Fully exit Cursor and restart. Check chat and network diagnostics.

2. Test without VPN/proxy. If using Zscaler/Cloudflare WARP or corporate filter - temporarily disable or add exception and retry. Best - test via mobile hotspot.

3. To check summarization, try /summarize in a new chat and empty folder - compare time to “Context summarized”. Docs: [Summarization | Cursor Docs](https://cursor.com/docs/agent/chat/summarization)

Let me know the results.
