At first I thought it was because of Anthropic’s servers lacking GPUs. But it is now happening to all models. It’s especially bad when it takes 4-5 minutes to respond and it makes a mistake by using the wrong syntax or because of some incorrect assumption. Even when it worked at low latency it sometimes took a couple responses for Cursor to get the solution to a problem. Which was fine, because you could just try again if it misunderstood your prompt. But now some things that used to take a couple minutes could easily take up 10-20 minutes. Is there an explanation or a solution in sight? I really enjoyed working with it (when it worked) and I’d love to know

It’s because Cursor has tens of thousands of concurrent users enjoying their free requests.

Why is the slow pool so... slow?
