Continue kept swapping to Claude when I set Ollama

Spent last week on Continue + Ollama (qwen2.5-coder:14b) for a Rust CLI refactor.
Config clearly pointed at local. Half the turns still billed Anthropic until I noticed the usage graph. Free Continue tier is fine — the silent fallback is what got me.
Anyone found a hard "never leave localhost" switch, or is that just vibes?

Same. I pinned
provider: ollamainconfig.jsonand it still "helpfully" fell back when the local server took >8s. Only saw it in the provider logs, not the UI.Silent cloud fallback is a bug wearing a feature badge.
yeah i mostly demoted Continue to commit messages on Windows. anything multi-file and it invents paths that never existed in the repo.
do you keep a separate profile just for local, or one config fighting itself?
