Hey, this is a known issue and a few users are seeing the same behavior.
Try this:
-
Disable HTTP/2: open
settings.json(Ctrl+Shift+P> Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)) and add:"cursor.general.disableHttp2": trueThen restart Cursor.
-
Check your network: Cursor Settings > Network > Run Diagnostics. Please share a screenshot of the results here.
-
Try in an empty folder: File > Open Folder > pick an empty directory, open chat, type “hello”. If that works, the issue might be your project index. In that case, try reindexing:
Ctrl+Shift+P> Cursor: Resync Index.
Also, next time you see “Taking longer than expected”, copy the Request ID (chat menu in the top right > Copy Request ID) and share it here. This helps us investigate on the backend.

Let me know how it goes.
