Hello Cursor team,
One day I realize that the toggle button of Auto model is missing. I am trying to find in settings but no luck.

When starting new chat, or in the existing thread I cannot see the Auto toggle buttons.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, do you have any API keys set in your settings?

If so, Auto does not work with API keys, so this would cause the setting to disappear!

Hi Dan, thank for your reply.
No, I am just install and use Cursor as default configuration.
I only choose Model of Claude. After the pricing model changed, I trying to switch to Auto. However the toggle is suddenly disappear.

How about Cursor on MacOS ?

I am not using Cursor on MacOS yet, so that I am not sure it is a solution for that OS or not.

However, as I guess, I think you can try, by backup the folder ~/.cursor to some different path and reinstall Cursor. If not just move back the backup folder.
Hope this will help.

I deleted ~/Library/Application\ Support/Cursor/, and the auto model appears.

But all my plugin settings are lost. T_T

(Folks, remember to back up this data. I learned this lesson the hard way.)
