Hey, thanks for the report.

From the error, it looks like the system is trying to use the gpt-5-high model instead of your default setting (Opus 4.5). Can you help clarify a few details?

• Can you share a screenshot of your settings from Dashboard > Cloud Agents in the Default Model section?
• In your Linear issue, are there any labels or any text like [model=gpt-5-high] in the description or comments? That syntax overrides the default model.
• Can you find the agent Request ID? In Cloud Agents, click the three dots and copy the request ID.

This looks like a bug with model selection in the Linear integration. The team worked on a similar issue, but it might have regressed.
