What's Wrong?

despite explicitly changing the model to haiku:

/model
⎿  Set model to haiku (claude-haiku-4-5-20251001)                                                                                                                                                              

It continuously outputs:

Claude Opus limit reached, now using Sonnet 4.5

What Should Happen?

Should stay on Haiku and not expend all the credits.
