Chatgpt 5 models, pro etc

Something changed today - The model continuously defaults to auto, and ‘thinking’. I cant seem to select gpt 5 Pro and get the conversation to actually use pro as of today. Pretty annoying? Now it keeps giving me reports instead of usual gpt 5 pro output… Anyone else?

consequently, it’s thinking for excessive amounts of time, outputs are cooked, almost zero progress since this started..

Me too. I open a new session and select PRO mode, then automatically change to AUTO mode when the prompt is sent.
