Get notified when Cursor goes down
AIWatch Data: Based on AIWatch data from the last 30 days, Cursor experienced 20 incidents with an average recovery time of 1h 26m. 30-day uptime: 99.66%.
Cursor is an AI-native code editor built on VS Code that integrates multiple LLM providers for intelligent code editing, chat, and codebase understanding.
AIWatch Insight: Cursor depends on upstream model providers (Claude, OpenAI), so outages can originate from either Cursor infrastructure or its AI backends. AIWatch monitors Cursor independently — when Cursor reports an issue, check the AIWatch dashboard to see if Claude or OpenAI is also down. Cursor has maintained strong uptime with most incidents attributed to upstream provider issues.
When Cursor is down, developers cannot use AI features including code completions, chat, and intelligent editing. The editor itself may still function for basic editing, but AI-powered features will be unavailable.
