Bug Report: Chatgpt mistakes GPT-5 for GPT-5 Thinking Mini
`Steps to Reproduce`

I sent requests in some of my older already existent chat.

`Expected Result`

A GPT-5 generated answer since i didn't reach my free plan limit yet.

Gona continue the "Actual result" down below.
Only When i click "Think" then click "Skip" it finally generates a GPT 5 answer. But what's odd is that when i use GPT-5 Mini it responds normally, but when i use GPT-5 it forces GPT-5 Thinking Mini to respond instead with a "Thinking longer for a better answer". I kept editing to see if it would change if i mentioned it to chatgpt but doenst work. like it's on instinct.

`Actual Result`

it said "Thinking longer for a better response", then used GPT-5 Thinking mini without my permission, i made a smaller one but i had the same result. and after too many tries it said i reached my free limit of GPT-5 even though it was GPT-5 Thinking mini that was responding! I didnt prompt them to think and they never do without my push or click, it used to just instantly give an GPT 5 generated answer. Some of already existent chats were affected but when i did a new chat it wasn't.

`Environment`

Both app (version 1.2025.245) and Google browser. On IOS and Android
