Slow request unusable again

Today Cursor Composer became unusable again. I’ve spent the last hours just waiting for a reply that never happens. Sometimes it start generating, but the it just halts, and you wait… and wait… and wait… and cancel the request.
I’m not talking about things being slow or my fast requests got burnt because the AI just messed up all the time. Although this is true, too, I’m talking about spending hours of valuable time just waiting. I now switched over to the Chat instead, because there I, at least, get replies.

If you use Composer after entering a google API key as an alternative in a slow request state

If you’re using Chat, you’d better use Gemini-2.0-flash-exp. Free is enough.
