That check can now come back marked as unconfirmed, and in that case a model it would otherwise reject is accepted. A refusal because credits are needed is now only reported when the credits path actually applies.\n\n**Why**\n\nIn some cases a model switch may now go ahead without the server having confirmed the model.\n\n- Area: Model Switching\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
