Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

The “Taking longer than expected” message usually means the request timed out before it could complete. A few things to try:

  1. Run a Network Diagnostic — go to Cursor Settings > Network > Run Diagnostics and share the results here (use the “Copy diagnostics” button). This will help us rule out any connectivity issues on your end.

  2. Try shorter, more focused prompts — long agent sessions are more likely to hit timeouts

  3. Try Auto mode — it may perform better depending on current load

If it’s still happening after trying those, reply with a couple of fresh request IDs from the failing attempts so we can look into the specific requests.

network diagnostics all pass

I can stop the chat and then prompt it to continue. Then it will work for a while but then be stuck again. It seems cursor does not have timeout and retry mechanism

Please share the request IDs from the recent failed attempts so we can look into them.

I already shared one in the first post - eac51ca1-03ea-4b17-9589-7f62b46316fc
