I’m having the same issue. Just lost all my conversation from the last 5 days AFTER A SIMPLE RESTART.

What’s going on with Cursor AI? The conversations are THE MAIN feature from my perspective, and this has been a rocky year from this perspective.

The damage to our business (due to loss of conversation text and context) becomes gradually massive (downtime/delays/etc).

PS: the suggestion for the future is not really a reasonable workaround. If files are so critical, maybe they should be moved to be stored inside the project folder (so that our version control covers it as well)?

in any case, we need a reliable solution. this kind of issues repeat (on and off) for at least 4-5 months. For our team, that many losses/downtime is simply crazy. It makes us not trust the whole application (cursor) as a reliable work tool.
