Bug Description
I am testing my app and fixing security bugs. Why am I being punished with Opus 4.8 and when can I switch back?
I asked one question about testing a security hole in my app that involved base64 encoding and my conversation got flagged and put me on Opus 4.8. I've tried switch back to Opus 5 or Fable 5 and it keeps putting me onto Opus 4.8.
