Cursor: first prompt works, then every prompt silently fails

(no error shown) — the response never returns after the first successful prompt

Root cause

A widely reported pattern: after a restart the first request succeeds, then subsequent requests hang or return nothing, often tied to a stuck connection/session state.

How to reproduce

Restart Cursor, send one prompt (works), send another — it silently does nothing.

Reload the window (Command Palette → 'Developer: Reload Window') to reset the session, rather than restarting the whole app each time.

Check for a proxy/VPN or firewall interrupting the keep-alive connection; disable it or switch network and retry.
