I started a cloud agent via agents window with opus 4.7 low effort, in usage it says low:

but in the agent window it changed automatically to xhigh:

i think it used actually xhigh based on the token usage as it was very simple prompt.

Hey, thanks for the report. The bcId and screenshots are spot on.

This is a known bug. For the Opus 4.7 cloud agent, the backend resolves defaults to effort: xhigh, and in some launch scenarios the effort you pick in the picker doesn’t get passed through to the runner. At the same time, Glass has a hydration gap for the model badge, so it can show the wrong variant for agents launched externally. So seeing “low” in usage but “xhigh” in Glass is exactly what you’d expect from that mismatch between surfaces.

From the token usage, it looks like xhigh actually ran in your case, but we’ll confirm using the bcId.

We’re tracking the issue, but I can’t share an ETA for the fix yet.
