Hey, this is a known issue with Auto model routing. Sometimes it picks a provider that’s temporarily unavailable.

A couple of quick workarounds:

1. Switch from Auto to a specific model. Try selecting GPT or Claude directly instead of Auto. This avoids the provider causing the error.
2. Start a new chat. If the error shows up mid-conversation, opening a fresh chat often fixes it.

@bodegacats, same for you. If you’re on Auto, try switching to a specific model.

Let me know if switching models helps.
