Unable to reach cursor. Provider was unable to process your request

Similar forum topics report using LLM API keys or having MCP extensions installed. I have neither. I am on Cursor Pro. I opened a new chat when IDE got bloated and started to crash out every so often (this would be another issue). After a new chats the problem started. Never had it before. Cursor would otherwise crash and I would close it, to have to provide the project context again after losing some history (Very frustrating).

The bug is ‘Unable to reach cursor. Provider was unable to process your request’, for no reason I can tell.

The only unique thing is that I had started a new chat earlier and conducted a few successful conversations.

The issue definitely undermines my productivity.

I finally got it to work by disabling all AI extensions like CodeGPT and Copilot.
