Hey, this isn’t a bug, it’s expected behavior, but I agree the toast wording is confusing and it’s already on our radar.
What’s happening: you’ve used up your premium model limit in the Pro plan, which includes GPT-5.5 and Sonnet 4.6. When you pick GPT-5.5 and send a message, the system auto-routes the request to Composer 2 because your premium quota is exhausted. That’s why the toast shows every time. Nothing is broken, the premium allocation will stay exhausted until your cycle resets.
From usage data: you went over the premium limit on May 13, and since May 14 all your requests, about 80 to 420 per day, have been running on composer-2-fast. GPT-5.5 hasn’t actually been used in the last week, the toast only appears when you try to select it.
Options:
- Wait for your usage cycle to reset, you can see it in Dashboard > Manage Subscription
- Manually select Auto or Composer 2 and the toast will go away
- Enable usage-based pricing in billing settings if you need premium models beyond the included quota
Reinstalling, clearing cache, and Request ID won’t help here. This is server-side quota logic, not a client bug. I’ve shared feedback with the team about the unclear modal copy, no ETA yet for a wording update.
