How do you choose which model to use with Claude Code?

I have the Max $200 plan so I set it to Opus until it limits me to Sonnet 4 which has only happened in two out of a few dozen sessions so far. My rule of thumb in Cursor is it's worth paying for the Max reasoning models for pretty much every request unless it's stupid simple because it produces the best code each time without any funny business you get with cheaper models.

You can use the max plan in cursor? I thought it didn’t support calls via api and only worked in Claude code?

I launch Claude Code in VS Studio (similar to Cursor): > claude

Then I use the /login command that opens a browser window to log into Claude Max.

You can confirm Claude Max billing going forward in VS Studio/Claude Code: /cost

"With your Claude Max subscription, no need to monitor cost — your subscription includes Claude Code usage"

In case you're asking for the literal command...
