Operating System

Linux

Version Information

N/A (web interface)

Additional Information

I burned through all of my token budget because it switched me to a much more expensive model. When I noticed the issue, I started a new chat and it did the same thing again!

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue
