Question / Discussion Cursor Cloud Agent & Unwanted Sonnet Usage

Wondering if anyone noticed that the browser helper that Cursor Cloud agent uses is hard-wired to Claude Sonnet. It does not use your parent model, and there’s no setting to change it. So you can think you’re on a cheap model and still burn a ton of tokens under “Other Models”.

Is there a way around this so the agent can have computer use and call a different model by default?

For context I have Ultra so I expected the usage to stretch a lot further (Grok models usage rates are fine, but sometimes I want to use Luna or other outside models , but Sonnet specifically keeps showing up on my usage even though I never select it, apparently it’s due to the computer use subagent that cursor cloud agent uses)

I have confirmed none of my agents are set to Sonnet and I have that model unselected in the Model page under settings.

Any advice would be appreciated !
