What's Wrong?

I switch from Opus to Sonnet in a certain session where I need less token consumption, but it switches it on every session that I have currently open.

What Should Happen?

The model should be switched only in the session where I am switching, the other one should continue using the one that they used.

Steps to Reproduce

Open two cloud sessions in two terminal windows, switch model in one, observe that the model is switched in the second one as well.
