Agent is frozen or keeps disconnecting—how do I fix it?

Restart your project's development environment, then continue in a new Agent chat.

While Agent is frozen, pause your messages. Extra messages can give it conflicting instructions.

To restart:

Open the command palette with Cmd+K on Mac or Ctrl+K on Windows.
Search for Restart compute and select it.
Open a new Agent chat and describe your task again.

If Agent keeps freezing on the same task, break the work into smaller, focused prompts.

Copy this prompt and paste it into Agent. For a project issue, open the project where it happens first. Add what happened and anything you've already tried. Don't include passwords, API keys, database connection strings or payment-card details.

Copying does not open Agent or send a support request. Agent availability and usage depend on your account.

If unresolved, explain help available for my account and request type. If a support request is available, show the exact draft and ask before sending.
Do not attach files or grant access without my agreement.
Include checks, results and the remaining problem.
