What's Wrong?

Auto mode can get triggered accidentally. If it does, and you're on a Max plan, the session comes to a halt. The agent complains that "Auto mode is unavailable on for your plan". Once that happens, you can't escape and have to kill the session.

What Should Happen?

I should be able to toggle auto mode off and continue my session.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Have previously attempted to set auto mode as available on a Max plan
  2. Turn it off
  3. On some occasions the first selection, which normally has "auto accept", will have "auto mode" instead. Make that choice, then cry.

  1. Session is trashed. Have to restart.
