I also have this problem, mine is on “Auto” mode and then it gets this problem, when I reselect another model it works ok.

How can i disable “Auto” mode?

[Antonio1 (Antonio)]

Ok i disabled “auto mode” in the top right Agent tab and selected my model manually, the token noise for thinking go away.
For cursor team, please let us know if there is a problem with “auto” mode and when is available.

best regards
