Problem Statement

I use Projects and open conversations in each project. Every time I have reached the token limits in a conversation, I have to ask Claude to generate a context document and start a new conversation providing that context document. But I do not know when the tokens hit the limit and conversation abruptly ends. Then moving to new conversation is painful and i lose time.

Proposed Solution

  1. Provide a progress bar for each conversation.
  2. Progress Bar should remain on and show the progress similar to "You have used 45,000 of 200,000 tokens in this chat"
  3. Claude should auto-generate the context document when the usage hits 90% and save it in projects so that users can easily trasport them to a new conversation in that chat.
