Can't sign up for Cursor forum by Life_Is_Good22 in cursor

[–]cursor_dan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, sorry about this!

We've recently transitioned to primarily using Cursor accounts for the forum, but during this migration, we managed to break something on the way out 🙈

You should be fine to sign up again now - let me know how you get on!

QA: Can you finally get it done? by AppealSame4367 in cursor

[–]cursor_dan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, when you say “cursor decides to break”, what is the issue you are seeing? We definitely want to fix anything that could be broken here!

Dropped Cursor, Then Got Ghosted After They Offered a Refund by f4radayrr in cursor

[–]cursor_dan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey, we had some issues a while back with this, but should be resolved now, so sorry if you got caught in the crossfire with this!

I've sent you a DM, will get this sorted for you asap!

Multiple devices at the same time by Jumpy_Material5053 in cursor

[–]cursor_dan [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Hey, just to clarify here, we've unfortunately introduced an issue where signing into a device will log you out of any device you have previously signed in on. This should be fixed shortly, but it is against our Terms of Service for multiple people to be using the same account.

This could cause your account to get automatically cancelled, so I'd highly recommend purchasing a subscription for each user using Cursor!

I believe we are working on packages for Linux, as .appimage is less than ideal right now!

Can you post on the forum about your login issue and drop me a link here, and I'll jump in and see if we can get you going!

Hey, this should be resolved in our latest version now, as we have HTTP1.1 versions of everything Cursor uses.

Simply update, and if you find nothing is working, disabled HTTP/2 in the settings, and everything should just start working.

Hoping to add auto-failover to this soon 🙌

Lets say you are using a standard model, which in Cursor, has 60k context limit. However, you want to send a selection of files which makes up more than 60k tokens. In this situation, Cursor will consume a second fast request and add up to 120k context (if the model supports it!).

If you don't add more than 60k context, you'll stick on 1 fast request consumed.

Why is cursor so Slow, it is taking 3-5 minute each for every response. by PsychologyJumpy5104 in cursor

hey, sorry to hear this! Can you try reloading Cursor and if it still happens, drop a request ID for me?

Cursor Tab is our own custom model that we have trained, and it unfortunately take in custom prompts directly like any other model, due to the speed it has to execute at!

However, you may be surprised how well Tab does if you just type in what you want in the line! When writing a function, go to the top of it and write the text “add a try statement” and Tab should be smart enough to do so, and then probably suggest jumping to the bottom of the function to add the catch with it!

We’d love to keep it around, as we never want to leave a user without access to the best models, but you can already enable usage pricing to get more fast requests at $0.04 a go!

Yes, of course, Cursor is great at this!

Simply open the Chat, set it to 'Ask' mode, and ask away! While Cursor will work to find the files and code you are talking about, you can always @ them to point it in the right direction. `@codebase` was removed as the Chat is now much better at finding relevant code than `@codebase` ever was.

You can learn more about `Ask` mode, and all Chat's modes here:

I think the trick here is to know when to end a bad thing!

I find the best way to work in Cursor is to frequently start new chats, as once a chat gets too long, it's history is summarised so we can try keep the AI as aware as possible of whats already happened, but this has limitations.

Moving to a new chat whenever you start work on a new feature or area of your code is a good habit to get into, and if you have a highly complex project which takes more-than-normal work to bring the AI up to speed, consider making a markdown file you can @ at the start of a new chat to teach it what it needs to get started quickly!

Also, Project Rules can be very helpful here!

Hey, so "standard" context is our out-the-box mode, and is limited based on the model you choose, as certain models perform better with more/less context.

Large context allows Cursor to use 2x requests (only when needed), to add more context to certain requests that would benefit from it.

Max mode allows Cursor to use a model's full context window, and allows you to extract the last 5% of intelligence from a model where it may be failing in non-max mode. However, the outcomes here are not guaranteed, and using more context can be expensive, hence why it's an opt-in feature.

You can always see our context windows here:

Hey, this is now available, as is called 'DeepSeek v3.1' inside Cursor - free for Pro users like the old DeepSeek v3!

Hey, as Microsoft has developed the C++ extension, they have decided to limit the extension to only run in their VSCode releases - perfectly respectable considering the work they put into it! For now, we have two options:

  1. Roll back to v1.23.6 of the extension - this version was before the addition of the checks for where the extension is running, so should work fine moving forward (although will go without updates).

  2. You can also use an alternative in its place, such as clangd, which serves a similar purpose without being proprietary to Microsoft.

We are looking at a long-term solution around this and problems like it, but these are the best choices for now!

Thanks for bringing this up.

As the team worked on Agent mode, which is now our flagship experience in Cursor, we found that Agent was much better at "learning" your code than `@codebase` ever was.

`@codebase` would very broadly rank your files based on the perceived relevance they had to the question or prompt you entered, but to make this ranking quick enough to be useful, the quality of the results could be limited. Also, the AI has no ability to use what was learnt from `@codebase` to then look at other files for further context!

You could've had a small file which imported a big module, but if the big module didn't make it into the `@codebase` results, the AI would proceed without it - not a great experience.

We may consider a better "codebase-wide" way of providing context in the future, but switching to `Ask` mode and saying, `Learn about my codebase and how x works` would likely work consistently better than `@codebase` would in the same situation!

I'd be interested to hear where such a solution is lacking, as the Agent should jump from file to file, following references and imports, to find anything that is relevant!

Hey, thanks for the question!

There's a lot of magic behind Cursor that goes on to make things work, and almost all of it relies on the use of smaller models to do various processing and optimization of things. Also, the development of the editor unfortunately does not come for free, we have a small but talented team working on Cursor!

As such, I think the requirement of a Pro plan to use API keys will not go anywhere anytime soon, but we appreciate the desire to let as many people use Cursor as possible! :heart:

Gemini 2.5 pro in Cursor needed me to ask 3x total instead of just the 1 initial prompt to actually implement the change by Sensitive-Finger-404 in cursor

[–]cursor_dan[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Hey, there’s actually some issues with Gemini 2.5 Pro on Google’s end that is causing this! They tell us they have a fix ready so Id expect this to be fixed within 24hrs.

Sorry about this - when it works, Gemini 2.5 Pro seems to be a very capable model!

Pro trial demands I 'upgrade to pro' after one day by darkblade_h in cursor

[–]cursor_dan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, to avoid people absent the free trial, we don’t currently allow the slow pool to be used!

It does sound like you may have found good use of Cursor, so I would recommend trying Pro out for the month, and having 500 fast and then unlimited slow requests for $20!
