Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Describe the Bug

When the currently selected model runs out of available tokens, Cursor shows a button suggesting that the user switch to Auto mode. However, when clicking this button, Cursor sets the model value to auto instead of Auto.

This causes a problem because auto does not appear to be a valid model option, while Auto is the expected valid option.

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Select a model in Cursor.
  2. Use the selected model until it no longer has available tokens.
  3. Wait for Cursor to show the button suggesting switching to Auto.
  4. Click the button to switch to Auto.
  5. Check the selected model value.

The selected value is set to auto instead of Auto.

Expected Behavior

Expected Behavior

After clicking the button to switch to Auto, Cursor should select the valid Auto model option.

The model value should be assigned as Auto, not auto.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the detailed report. This is a known bug: the switch to Auto button sets the model value to lowercase auto instead of the valid Auto, which causes the error. The issue is already tracked, but we don’t have an exact fix timeline yet.

Workaround: after you run out of tokens, don’t click the button. Instead, manually pick Auto from the model list in the picker, and it’ll set the value correctly.

If anything changes on the fix, I’ll reply in the thread.
