[Bug] CLI input lag in extended sessions with high context utilization
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Dec 19, 2025 by hwinckler Closed Dec 19, 2025
Bug Description
Performance issue: CLI input lag after extended sessions
- After ~30+ interactions in the same context window, typing becomes very slow with noticeable delay
- Context usage at time of issue: ~64% (128k/200k tokens)
- The lag is in the input field itself, not in response generation
- Workaround: starting a new session resolves the issue
- OS: Linux 6.1.0-40-amd64
Environment Info
- Platform: linux
- Terminal: gnome-terminal
- Version: 2.0.72
- Feedback ID: de37b920-12f5-49c3-b5e7-404a21ab0902
