Why is auto mode slow?

Bug Reports

Hey, thanks for the report. Multiple users are seeing similar freezing and timeout issues in Auto mode on version 1.7.54, the team is already investigating: Slow Request + High Ping on Network Diagnostics

Please try these steps:

  • Run Network Diagnostics: Cursor Settings → Network → Run Diagnostics, then share the results here
  • Try the HTTP/1.1 workaround: Cursor Settings → Network, switch from HTTP/2 to HTTP/1.1
  • Switch DNS to Google/Cloudflare: System Preferences → Network → Advanced → DNS, add 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1, then restart Cursor
  • Test a different model: switch from Auto to GPT-5 or another specific model to see if the issue persists

Could you share what Network Diagnostics shows and whether any of these help? This will help us determine if it’s part of the broader issue or specific to your setup.
