Cursor Server Status: Is Cursor Down Right Now?

person By: Monitoring team

update Last updated: Jun 18, 2026, 10:27 AM UTC

Cursor has revolutionized software development with its deep AI integration, but when its backend models go offline, developer productivity grinds to a halt. If you are experiencing laggy completions or connection errors, you might be asking: is cursor down right now? Our real-time tracker monitors cursor network status to help you determine if the issue is local or a widespread cursor outage today 2026.

Currently, based on our real-time global monitoring network, the status of cursor is operational. The vast majority of the community reports seamless functionality. If you are uniquely facing issues where cursor is not loading, we recommend checking your local Wi-Fi, clearing your browser cache, or restarting your application, as global servers appear to be completely healthy.

How a Cursor Outage Disrupts AI-Assisted Coding

When a cursor outage today 2026 strikes, the editor's core AI functionalities fail. You will experience timeouts on Cmd+K prompts, Composer multi-file edits failing to apply, codebase indexing getting stuck, and the inline autocomplete (Copilot++) failing to suggest code. While the local VS Code environment remains functional, the lack of AI assistance makes it feel like any other basic text editor.

Our live map aggregates thousands of these specific complaints in real-time. If you see elevated bars on the chart above, the cursor down detector algorithm has successfully identified severe backend degradation that aligns with these exact symptoms.

Recent Cursor Problems Today and Live Network Reports

By analyzing the past 24 hours of telemetry, we observed roughly 2 outage complaints globally. Factoring in these connectivity drops, the calculated cursor uptime over the last day rests at 100.00%.

The most significant recent outage or degraded performance spike commenced around 22h ago. At this specific time, the problem volume skyrocketed, peaking at exactly 1 reports within a narrow 15-minute interval. This indicates a very distinct, measurable interruption to their primary infrastructure.

Troubleshooting Cursor Not Working Today

When the global status reads 'Operational' but the app still crashes on your device, the problem is local. Try these simple fixes to restore your cursor connection:

Switch to Local LLMs or Custom API Keys: If the Cursor central servers are down, you can bypass their proxy by entering your own OpenAI or Anthropic API keys in the settings. Alternatively, configure a local model via Ollama to keep your autocomplete working offline.
Clear Cursor's AppData and Cache: Sometimes the editor's internal language server protocol (LSP) or indexing database gets corrupted. Try running the 'Developer: Reload Window' command from the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P) or clearing the editor cache.
Verify WebSocket and Firewall Rules: Cursor relies on persistent WebSocket connections for real-time AI streaming. Ensure your firewall, VPN, or proxy is not blocking traffic to cursor.sh or its subdomains, which can trigger connection timeout errors.

How to Fix & Check if cursor Is Down on Windows, Mac, Android & iOS

desktop_windows

cursor on Windows

Fix: To fix Cursor on Windows, try restarting the application as administrator or checking if your Windows Defender Firewall is blocking its internet access. You can also reinstall the editor using the official installer if files are corrupted.

Check: Check if Cursor is down on Windows by verifying if the AI features fail to connect while your browser works normally. You can also check the developer console within the editor for network connection errors.

Command Prompt (CMD)

ping cursor.sh Test whether cursor's servers reply

nslookup cursor.sh Check that cursor's DNS resolves

tracert cursor.sh Trace where the connection drops

ipconfig /flushdns Clear the DNS cache, then reload

laptop_mac

cursor on Mac

Fix: Fix Cursor on macOS by force quitting the app and clearing its application cache in your Library folder. Ensure that the app has the necessary permissions under System Settings to access your local network.

Check: To tell if Cursor is down on a Mac, check if the editor displays connection timeout warnings when querying the AI. You can also verify your internet connection by trying to load the Cursor website.

Terminal

ping -c 4 cursor.sh Test whether cursor's servers reply

nslookup cursor.sh Check that cursor's DNS resolves

traceroute cursor.sh Trace where the connection drops

sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder Flush the macOS DNS cache, then reload

android

cursor on Android

Fix: Since Cursor is a desktop IDE, troubleshoot account issues on Android by clearing your mobile browser's cache to access the Cursor dashboard. Ensure your device is not connected to a VPN that blocks the service.

Check: Check if the Cursor service is down on Android by attempting to log into your account dashboard on the Cursor website. If the login portal fails to load, the backend services may be experiencing an outage.

phone_iphone

cursor on iPhone / iPad

Fix: Fix Cursor-related web issues on iOS by clearing your Safari browser history and disabling active VPNs. Ensure your mobile network is stable if you are managing your Cursor account or subscription.

Check: To tell if Cursor is down on iOS, try accessing the official Cursor login portal via your mobile browser. If the page loads but you cannot authenticate, the authentication servers may be offline.

How We Monitor the Cursor Network Status

We don't wait for PR departments to admit there's a problem. By automatically tracking the real-time velocity of cursor down reports across social networks and the web, we can publish outage alerts long before official sources acknowledge the failure.

Our intelligent backend systems constantly cross-reference the incoming volume of these cursor down reports against a historical background baseline curve. When the live data deviates significantly and crosses a mathematical threshold, our website instantly flips the status from green to red, publishes the warning on this page, and logs the precise minute the downtime commenced. This guarantees that you are receiving the fastest, most unbiased, and most accurate outage intelligence available anywhere on the internet today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is cursor down right now?

To find out if cursor is down right now, check our live status indicator at the top of this page. We aggregate real-time user reports, API response times, and server pings to determine if Cursor's backend LLM routing nodes are experiencing an outage.

What is the cursor server status?

The cursor server status depends on both their primary API gateway and the underlying LLM providers (like OpenAI and Anthropic) they route prompts to. If you see connection handshake errors or 'Failed to generate response' messages, check our cursor down detector for live updates on API latency.

Why is cursor not working today?

If you are experiencing cursor problems today, it is likely due to an outage in the Cursor backend authentication servers or rate-limiting issues on their subscription validation endpoint. Sometimes, cursor not working today can also be caused by local network restrictions blocking websocket connections to cursor.sh endpoints.

How do I check if cursor is down?

You can check if cursor is working by attempting to use a local LLM or checking our cursor network status dashboard. If our cursor down detector shows a spike in reports, the issue is global. Otherwise, you can verify your API key configuration, check the developer console in Cursor (Help > Toggle Developer Tools), or check if your internet connection is blocking their endpoints.
