Hey, thanks for the report. Here are a few things to try and check:
-
Run the network diagnostics: Cursor Settings > Network > Run Diagnostics. Please share a screenshot of the results here.
-
Disable HTTP/2. Add this to your
settings.json(Ctrl+Shift+P> Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)):"cursor.general.disableHttp2": trueThen restart Cursor.
-
Are you using a VPN, proxy, or a corporate firewall? If yes, please try without them.
-
Can you reproduce this in a brand new empty folder? (File > Open Folder > pick an empty directory, start a new chat, type “hello”)
Also, next time it freezes, please grab the Request ID. Open the context menu (top right of the chat) > Copy Request ID, then paste it here. That’s the main thing we need to investigate this on the backend.

The team is aware of this issue. Let me know how the steps above go.
