Hi @letters-s_s,

Thanks for opening this — I see you followed up from the earlier thread as I suggested there, and I’m sorry the issue is still happening.

This is a known class of bugs. Several fixes shipped in March for model picker resets, but there are still paths where the model selection gets silently overridden. Our team is actively working on the remaining cases.

To help us pinpoint which path is affecting you, could you share:

  1. A Request ID from a session where the switch happened — click the three dots in the top right of the chat and select Copy Request ID. How to find your Request ID

  2. Does the model picker visually change to show “Composer” or “Auto,” or does it still show your selected model while the output quality noticeably drops?

This will help us determine exactly which auto-switch mechanism you’re hitting so we can route it to the right fix.
