Taking longer than expected

Hey, this is a known issue and a few users are seeing the same behavior.

Try this:

  1. Disable HTTP/2: open settings.json (Ctrl+Shift+P > Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)) and add:

    "cursor.general.disableHttp2": true
    

    Then restart Cursor.

  2. Check your network: Cursor Settings > Network > Run Diagnostics. Please share a screenshot of the results here.

  3. 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.
