Here as well ( UK ) - very very slow… ..as in minutes for one request ?

On a fast symmetrical fiber so definitely not the connection.

In fact - this is unusable.

Hey, have you both got fast requests available in your usage, or have usage-based pricing on?

Slow requests are expected if you are in the slow pool!

I’m getting this too. I just updated the app this morning and the requests just get stuck on “generating…” Doesn’t matter which model I try.

same

Yes, always with fast requests. It was like some hours, after that yesterday and today works fine.

Thank you.

Same here, since 0.50. Tried to update on 1.00 and same problem.

So I am waiting on 0.49.6 which works fine.

I still have fast request credits.

On the latest version, can one of you post your Console logs by running Developer: Toggle Developer Tools and checking the console tab?

Hello Dan, thanks for your help!

This is what I see:

The error keeps repeating when I send a request in the chat/agent.

Then after 3-4 minutes the answer comes and no other message appears in the console.

I also precise in case that in network diagnostic, this keeps loading (DNS, HTTP, SSL, the rest is ok):

No VPN, no firewall. I tried all HTTP options, without success.

Hey, we believe the error you are seeing could be a red herring.

Can you try rerun Cursor with your extensions disabled? You can do this by running cursor —disable-extensions in a terminal, or by running Reload with Extensions Disabled within Cursor!

Let me know how that goes!

Hello Dan,

Thanks for your help.
I deactivated all the extensions, rebooted cursor, tried several times, but it didn’t help…

The strange thing is that I get a reply, but several minutes after, it’s not fully blocked.

Hey Dan,

I kept digging into the issue and ended up uninstalling a few extensions including the ChatGPT one that connects to my local ChatGPT app on Mac. I’m not sure if that was the root cause, but after removing them, everything started working!

Interestingly, just disabling the extensions wasn’t enough, they had to be removed.

I’ve since reinstalled the ChatGPT extension, and everything still works fine. I can’t say for sure if it was the problem, since I deleted a few others and didn’t keep track of them all.

So, if someone runs into a similar issue, it might help to try uninstalling and reinstalling some extensions.

Thanks again, much appreciated!
