What

An organisation can use a managed policy, settings an administrator controls, to allow only certain models. When your usual default model is not allowed, Claude Code picks another one.

  • That replacement is now tagged with a new source, managed_deny. Before, it was counted as an entitlement fallback.
  • The model picker shows " · Set by your organization" for managed_deny, the same label as the enforced and entitlement sources.
  • Usage reporting now records it as managed_deny_default instead of entitlement_default.

Why

What you see is the same: a model chosen because of your organisation's policy is marked "Set by your organization". Behind the scenes, a model swapped out by an organisation deny policy can now be told apart from one set by your plan's entitlements.

The writer flagged doubtIt is not clear whether the on-screen label reads any differently than it did before.
