### Describe the Bug

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.

Trying to set custom model name Auto or auto but it is not working also.

Can you please help check, or does it visible in other place that I can not see?

### Steps to Reproduce

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

### Expected Behavior

I can turn on the Auto model

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.

Hi Dan,  
Thank you again, after deleting the cursor setting folder. `C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Cursor` and `~/.cursor` on WSL.

Thank you

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.)
