I'm trying to figure out how to select Opus in Claude Code, but all I see are Default and Sonnet 4 options in the /model settings. Is there a way to specify Opus or Sonnet at all?

I wouldn't recommend going with Opus unless you really need it. It switched to Opus as a default for me after an update, and my time got cut drastically—what usually lasts me 5 hours was gone in an hour! It even switched to Sonnet before I realized it. I'm now waiting for my limit to reset since I need to find a way to choose Sonnet only when it does. So frustrating!
I hear 5x max r 20x max can help with that.
Just a heads-up, Opus 4 is really pricey! I learned that the hard way, haha.
Are you using Pro or Max?
