Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

[deanrie]

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue with the new image generation feature. A few users started seeing “Connection stalled” right after the 2.4 release.

The team is already aware.

Right now, image generation should run via the agent when you request an image, but it looks like the feature is still unstable.

There’s no workaround yet, so we’ll need to wait for a fix. As soon as there’s an update, I’ll post it in the thread here: Image Generation Connection Error in Cursor 2.4
