TL;DR

The agent hanging issue may be related to a specific scenario or input, and attaching the exported chat history JSON file could help identify the cause.

Guidance

  • The constant hanging of the agent could be due to an infinite loop or a resource-intensive process, and examining the chat history might provide clues about the triggering event.
  • To mitigate the issue, try to reproduce the problem with a minimal input or scenario to isolate the cause.
  • If the issue is reproducible, try to identify any patterns or common factors that might be contributing to the hanging.
  • Consider testing with a different model version or auth type to see if the issue persists.

Notes

The provided information is limited, and without the exported chat history JSON file or more details about the scenario, it's challenging to provide a more specific solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try to reproduce the issue with minimal input and isolate the cause, as attaching the chat history file may help identify the root cause of the problem.
