Issues with Agent Mode switching to "Fast Mode" models

Hey everyone, status is unchanged. The bug is known and reproducible, including on the latest versions. I can’t share an ETA for a fix yet, but as soon as I have an update I’ll post it in the main thread. You can subscribe there: Explore agents ignoring model variant

About the quota: to stop Explore from switching to the Fast variant right now, here are a couple workarounds:

  • Pick a model for the sub-agent that doesn’t have a Fast toggle. This helped in related threads.
  • Create a custom sub-agent with model: inherit in .cursor/agents/, so it inherits the parent model: Subagents | Cursor Docs
  • For a specific task, tell the agent not to launch sub-agents: Do NOT launch sub-agents for this task

Let me know if the workaround doesn’t fix the usage issue and we can dig in.
