What's Wrong?

⎿  API Error: 400 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"Could not process
image"},"request_id":"req_011CVyePZFXPcrcqpSbt7dew"}

I think the new compact system conflicts with Playwright.

What Should Happen?

repair of the compact system.

Error Messages/Logs

API Error: 400 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"Could not process
     image"},"request_id":"req_011CVyePZFXPcrcqpSbt7dew"}

Steps to Reproduce

Try to reach the limit. When you are close to the limit (e.g., 1%), try to fill the compact limit by uploading photos (with playwright). This error occurs when trying to read the image immediately after the compact operation.
API Error: 400 {“type”:“error”,“error”:{“type”:“invalid_request_error”,‘message’:"Image could not be processed
“},‘request_id’:”req_011CVyePZFXPcrcqpSbt7dew"}

Additional Information

For friends looking to solve the issue in the short term, I recommend the /rewind command. Go back as far as the compact data, manually run the compact, and once the chat history comes back, resend the compact message. This should resolve the issue.
