Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cloud Agent (GitHub, Slack, Web, Linear)
Describe the Bug
I use a Cursor Project Orchestrator, and initially I started it with a 4.7 high model, but then I have switched it in the model picker to 4.6 high. It keeps defaulting to 4.7 high. It absolutely ignores what I have set.
In settings, in Agent > Conversation> Model, I have selected “last used” instead of “cursor default”, and I still face this issue.
Steps to Reproduce
Start the projects orchestrator with a 4.7 high model. Send a few messages, and then in the model picker, switch to 4.6 high and send another message. Notice that this is still built as a 4.7 high model.
Expected Behavior
I expect that the model switches to a 4.6 high.

Does this stop you from using Cursor
No - Cursor works, but with this issue
