Symptom

Error output
状态栏显示固定模型（例如 `Sonnet-4.6`），与代理接管后的真实模型不一致。
English translation

The status bar shows a fixed model (for example, `Sonnet-4.6`), which does not match the actual model after proxy takeover.

Cause

Section titled “Cause”

After enabling cc-switch proxy takeover, the local session’s default model shown by ccstatusline may not update to the upstream model after proxy routing. It can remain `Sonnet-4.6` or `claude-sonnet-4-6`. The same issue also reported that billing-model details in the proxy dashboard may differ from the actual routing result, suggesting a possible discrepancy in the model attribution data source.

Fix

Section titled “Fix”

  1. Add a Custom Command to ccstatusline so the status bar reads the model environment variable in the current cc-switch provider configuration. A macOS script approach was proposed; a user verified it works in Windows WSL.

  2. On Windows, create a JavaScript file and set the ccstatusline Custom Command to `node <文件名>`; the script reads the current Claude provider's `settings_config` from `~/.cc-switch/cc-switch.db`, then outputs the model name based on the Opus, Sonnet, Haiku, or default-model environment variable.
