Agent Panel: Max Mode switching off

[defrex]

Summary

I'm a heavy user of the Agent Panel. I like using the models through the Zed subscription because I want to support my favourite editor!

However, the "Max Mode" toggle is nothing but an annoyance for me. I go over the rate limit regularly, and I understand that I will have to pay for it. Having my sessions die and need to be fixed by pressing a button a re-prompting isn't really doing anything useful.

I understand others may be more cost-sensitive, so I can see why you might want the toggle. However, once I turn it on, I'd like to to stay on. The fact that it turns itself off it disruptive to my flow.

Actual Behavior When I start a new Agent session, Max Mode defaults to off.

Expected Behavior When I start a new Agent session, Max Mode defaults to my previous Max Mode setting.

We have a setting where you can set your preferred completion mode, which is what we will use as the default when starting new threads.

Here's how you would set it to Max Mode:

{
  "agent": {
    "version": "2",
    "preferred_completion_mode": "max"
  }
}

Closing since a setting for the default exists. For now, we are choosing not to alter the setting when the button is pressed to prevent unintended spending on new threads.
