Cursor errors and fixes

Errors from the Cursor AI code editor: model capacity, agent loops, connection problems and the cursor CLI.

6 Cursor errors below. Each page shows the exact error text, what it means, likely causes and a step-by-step fix.

• Cursor: model is overloaded / slow requests
  The selected AI model's provider capacity is saturated, or your account has used its fast-request allowance and is being queued..
• Cursor agent keeps making the same failed edit
  This is a workflow problem rather than an error code: the AI is missing context or chasing a symptom, so each attempt re-breaks the code..
• cursor: command not found
  Your shell can't find the cursor CLI launcher because it hasn't been added to PATH..
• Extension host terminated unexpectedly
  Cursor is built on VS Code; this means the process that runs extensions crashed.
• Cursor: Connection failed. Check your internet connection or VPN
  Cursor's client could not reach its AI backend for a chat/agent request..
• High Load: We're experiencing high demand for this model
  Cursor's backend temporarily has no spare capacity for the specific model you selected (often Composer).
