1M doesnt change context window

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

When picking a 1M Model / Version the Context doesnt get updated to 1M it stays with the normal context limit of the Base Model.
Only Opus 4.6 seems to work, Opus 4.7 and GPT 5.5 dont work.
when changing the model while the context is already above the base models limit it will be set to the maximum context of the model = 100% context is being used. Chat summarization happens after that…

Steps to Reproduce

Create a new chat, choose Opus 4.7 or GPT 5.5 and select the 1M option. Send a message and hover over the context bar. It shows 272k / 300k Tokens as the limit tho it should have 1M or 929k or smth in that range. Change the model while in a current chat also shrinks the max context to the 272 / 300k limit…

Expected Behavior

When picking the 1M model it should get that context limit.

For AI issues: which model did you use?

GPT 5.5 Extra High, Opus 4.7 high, Opus 4.6 high

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

here you can see that Opus 4.6 works fine tho Opus 4.7 has the same bug.

Any Updates?, thats really urgent!

Hi @NZ_Bayard!

This looks like a duplicate of 1M doesnt change context window. I suggest moving the conversation over there!
