hi @alienspaces this may have been a temporary issue as Cursor can currently reach Sonnet 4.5.

Could you check and let me know if it still occurs?

Changing the model automatically is something users mentioned should not happen when they selected a specific model.

We do offer to switch to Auto as it does re-route to other providers that have no outage.

I did mention the above but it appears to be working now 8 hours later.
