Cursor status history
Our own checks from Europe and the US. Green means every check passed, amber means some checks failed, red means most checks in that period failed.
Outages our checks detected
None since Oct 13. A problem has to fail two checks in a row before we record it.

About Cursor
Cursor is an AI-first code editor (a VS Code fork) with deep integrations for Claude, GPT, and custom models, plus an agent mode that can edit files autonomously. It relies on Cursor's own cloud backend for model routing, tab/autocomplete completions, the Agent runtime, codebase indexing, and settings/project sync across devices. Outages affect core editing less than AI workflows: you can still edit files, but Tab autocomplete fails, Cmd+K inline edits stop working, the Composer agent stalls, and codebase context search returns nothing.
The official Cursor status page is available as a reference. Official pages are useful, but they can lag behind real outages by minutes or hours.
outage patterns
Cursor not working? What an outage looks like
When Cursor's backend is degraded, Tab autocomplete, Cmd+K and the agent stall. Editing files, git and the terminal keep working.
The check above requests cursor.com from Europe and the US every 3 minutes. It does not sign in, send a prompt or test your plan, so a passing check means the service responded, not that every model and feature works.
Common signs Cursor is having issues
- Tab completions stop appearing
- Cmd+K inline edits return nothing
- The Composer agent stalls mid-edit
- Codebase search returns no results
Usually not a Cursor outage
- A usage or message limit on your plan
- A company network, VPN or firewall blocking the service
- An expired session: sign out and sign in again
- A browser extension or ad blocker interfering with the page
What to do when Cursor is degraded
Try again from a second device or network, and sign out and back in. If the check above or the official status page shows a problem, it is likely on Cursor's side, so wait or switch to another tool for now. If both look fine, check your plan's limits and your network first.

why independent monitoring
Provider status references
and endpoint checks answer different questions.
Independent endpoint evidence
The regional check can show that a public endpoint is failing before or after a provider posts broader incident context. It does not validate every product subsystem.
Scheduled alerts
Monitor Cursor on your plan interval and route confirmed endpoint failures through the notification channels available to your workspace.
Multi-region verification
EU and US results can reveal a regional difference in public-endpoint reachability. Confirm the exact workflow and provider region you use.
Historical data
Track Cursor uptime over time. See trends, identify recurring issues, and make informed decisions about your dependency.
Frequently asked questions
Is Cursor down right now?
See the latest check of cursor.com and its timestamp at the top of this page. If Cursor is down, you can also check the official status page for extra context.
How do I check if Cursor is having issues?
This page checks the public Cursor endpoint from EU and US. You can also monitor that endpoint on a schedule and receive confirmed-failure alerts through the channels available on your plan. Test the exact provider feature you use for a complete diagnosis.
How can I get alerted when Cursor goes down?
Add cursor.com to Visual Sentinel and its first check is free. To keep monitoring, start a 7-day trial (card required) or subscribe now: Solo and Starter check every 5 minutes, Business and Agency every 60 seconds, with email, push and chat alerts.
Where can I find Cursor outage context?
The official Cursor status page is available as a reference. Official pages are useful, but they can lag behind real outages by minutes or hours. Visual Sentinel checks the public Cursor endpoint independently from EU and US. Paid Business and Agency plans support 60-second uptime checks.
What does Cursor status / Cursor uptime mean on this page?
Cursor status here is an independent HTTP check of cursor.com, not Cursor’s marketing site copy. Cursor uptime on this page is that same check over time. Official incident detail still lives on status.cursor.com.
Can I keep editing code in Cursor during a Cursor outage?
Yes. Cursor is a fork of VS Code, so basic file editing, git operations, terminal, and extensions continue to work offline. Only AI features (Tab, Cmd+K, Composer, codebase chat) depend on the cloud backend and fail during outages.
Does Cursor outage affect the underlying Claude or GPT model?
Cursor routes to Claude, GPT, and other models through its own gateway. A Cursor-gateway outage breaks AI features in Cursor even if Anthropic and OpenAI are fully operational. Cursor-incident dashboards are the right place to check, not Anthropic or OpenAI status.
Often checked together with Cursor
When an AI assistant stops answering, people usually try a second one. Each page below has its own check, run every 3 minutes from Europe and the US.
