Unable to reach model while working on two codebases

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

I am cycling back and forth from small tasks in two apps that I have working in. In one repo all models work fine. in the other I keep getting errors regarding the unability to reach the model

“We’re having trouble connecting to the model provider. This might be temporary - please try again in a moment.”

My chat and agent checks are passing when I test them as well.

Have two different repos open and try to work on both

Expected Behavior

I should be able to use chat

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

hi @bigmike and thank you for the detailed bug report.

It is not clear how the issue occurs, could you try following:

  • Copy (not rename) the project into a new folder and open that in Cursor.
  • Alternatively check if a .vscode subfolder interferes with the project. You could rename it temporarily.
  • Have a look what errors are shown in the Console of Developer Tools in that project.

Note that renaming the project itself would remove settings or chats of that project.
