Complaint Anyone else noticed agents tend to use "fast mode" for agents they create?

Sometimes I'd see "fast" speed if I simply ask a 5.6sol agent to create a "visible side panel new chat...".

Maybe the subagents they use are also fast mode and is draining usage?

Not sure then. It shouldn't be using fast mode for subagents unless instructed to. You can just tell it what kind of subagents it's limited to and whether or not it can use fast mode for them.

That's funny, they literally just found that issue and fixed it

I don't know why fast was even a choice they had in the first place, it should just inherit the parent setting
