Hi @Dlay_Sebya,
Could you please try these steps:
-
Reload the Window (Fastest Fix) Refreshes the UI state without closing your session:
- Press
Ctrl+Shift+P→ type “Reload Window” → press Enter
- Press
-
Restore Focus Before Submitting Click somewhere else in the IDE (e.g., the file explorer sidebar), then click back into the chat input and try again then his resolves cases where the chat panel loses click focus in the background.
-
Use the
EnterKey Instead of the Button PressEnterto submit. -
Check for a Running/Stuck Agent Task Look at the bottom status bar, if a previous task is still shown as running, the input is intentionally locked. Click the Stop button to cancel it, then try again.
-
Check Your Quota Go to Settings → Quota. If your 5-hour usage window is exhausted, the submit button disables automatically until it resets. The reset time is shown in the UI.
Since this issue is intermittent and not consistently reproducible, it would help us a lot if you could share:
- What were you doing just before it stopped working?
- Does a Window Reload fix it?
- Any error messages in Help → Toggle Developer Tools → Console?
