About Cursor

AIWatch Data: Cursor's reported uptime is 99.41%. Based on AIWatch data from the last 30 days, it experienced 29 incidents with an average recovery time of 1h 45m.

Cursor is a coding agent built on the VS Code codebase, integrating multiple LLM providers for code editing, chat, and codebase understanding.

AIWatch Insight: Cursor depends on upstream model providers as well as its own models, 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 whether a provider it uses is also down.

When Cursor is down, developers cannot use AI features including code completions, chat, and intelligent editing.

This page provides real-time status and recent incident details; uptime history is shown only when the official source publishes sufficient comparable records — updated every 5 minutes by AIWatch.
