Bugbot Autofix runs when it should not

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

BugBot

Describe the Bug

The team and individual settings are clearly set to “Manual” for autofix, but bugbot keeps creating fixes and billing us for them when nobody wants them.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Enable Bugbot
  2. Set autofix to Manual for both Team and Individual
  3. Push a PR with some obvious bug
  4. Wait for Bugbot to propose a fix

Expected Behavior

Bugbot should comment with a message telling the user they can reply with some sort of command to request an autofix on a case-by-case basis. Requesting autofix for a single Bugbot comment should not enable autofix for all other comments in that ticket unless explicitly called for.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Thanks for the detailed report! This is actually working as expected, though the naming is a bit confusing.

With “Manual” selected, a Cloud Agent still runs to prepare fixes - you just get to choose whether to create a PR from those fixes via the provided links. If you want to prevent Cloud Agents from running entirely (and avoid the billing), set Autofix to “Off” instead. You’ll still see Bugbot’s bug comments with “Fix in Cursor” and “Fix in Web” links you can use on-demand.

Hope that helps! See the Bugbot Autofix docs for more details on each setting.
