What happened?

Stuck in a loop like this, I don't have flash quota but it keeps trying to switch to flash. I have "disable llm tool call" true too. I don't get it. I think it's trying to switch to flash after executing shell. Anyhow pretty sure there's a bug here. Checked settings: Plan Model Routing false. Disable LLM Corerction true

What did you expect to happen?

In general, I don't think it should just fail when it's switching to flash and finding its quota is depleted. Just use the other model that is selected and available then automatically, right?

This is also a problem when (auto) is selected. I have no idea what auto does. It just called flash all the time. Why? That's also a bug I guess.
