Hey, thanks for the report. I can see the screenshots. The Explore subagent is set to Composer 2.5, but the dashboard usage is billed to composer-2.5-fast.
These are two different things. By default, the Explore subagent does run on Composer 2.5 Fast. That’s expected behavior for helper tasks like code search. But if you explicitly selected Composer 2.5 with Fast turned off and it still resolves to Fast, that’s a known regression. We reproduced it, and it still happens in the latest versions. We’re tracking it on our side, and I’ll follow up as soon as there’s an update.
Full thread about the same issue (you can subscribe to get updates):
For now, as a temporary workaround:
- Pick a subagent model that doesn’t switch to a Fast variant. That worked as a workaround in that thread.
- Or set a custom subagent with
model: inheritin.cursor/agents/so it inherits the parent model: Subagents | Cursor Docs - Or for that specific task, ask the agent not to launch sub-agents:
Do NOT launch sub-agents for this task
Quick question to confirm. In the Explore subagent settings, was Fast definitely turned off (via hover → edit)? That’ll help confirm you’re hitting the same regression and not the default behavior.
