UI Bug: OpenRouter ran out of credits prevents user from switching models

[cfdude]

Which version of the app are you using?

3.7.4

Which API Provider are you using?

OpenRouter

Which Model are you using?

Sonnet 3.7

What happened?

From the user in Discord: https://discord.com/channels/1332146336664915968/1344169192731185152

I respectuflly think this behaviour needs some work. The challenge being, if we don't have money to recharge Openrouter or such the whole chain of prompts is wasted potentially because we can give an alternative request or even change modes.
Both the message box is greyed out and so is the mode select.
User may not have the money to give them more money or they may want to do something else first.

Steps to reproduce

Relevant API REQUEST output

Additional context

The UI should not be disabling the text box when this event occurs. We should be allowing the user to switch models on the same task without forcing them to create a new task (or fund the account).

Can you switch the model in settings?
Or you can click Retry and then immediately click Cancel

Now you mention it, probably. But its not great UI design and how would they know to?
FYI, was me that raised this issue on Discord.

Yeah good to know if there’s a workaround, but we should fix this.
