# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Matrix typing indicator lingering after response is sent

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

One issue reports the Matrix typing indicator staying visible for up to 30 seconds after a response is sent. Two pull requests propose changes (adding a stop_typing call, and a gateway fix) aimed at clearing that indicator.

## TL;DR

- 3 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 1 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 1 merged PR(s), 1 PR(s) closed without merging.
- A fix was merged to main in PR #10239. Verify it addresses your case.
- **Recommended:** read PR #10239 (and any competing PRs below) before filing. Confirm the merged change covers your symptom.

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `resolved` · deciding PR(s): `pr-10239`. This is distinct from the fix status above. Weigh it yourself.

## How this cluster was grouped

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.
- Pairwise link density `0.67`: the share of member pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. `1.00` means every pair is linked.

## Fix status

- Merged to main in PR #10239 (cited above). No release data is tracked. Verify downstream.
- Fix last verified (merged) `2026-04-15`. This confirmation is old and may be out of date (a revert/reopen would not have invalidated it here); re-verify.
