[Bug] Auto-compact fails with "Conversation too long" error in CLI, loses context despite successful compaction command

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Feb 11, 2026 by dusancv22 Closed Feb 15, 2026

Bug Description
For some reason, the autocompacting doesn't work in the terminal as expected. While it was in the middle of editing, I just got error context limit reached . /compact or /clear to continue, however, which every option I do, it tells me: Error: Error during compaction: Error: Conversation too long. Press esc twice to go up a few messages and try again. This means that the context of my conversation is gone and I have to start from scratch. However, I didn't have this problem in vs extenstion for some reason
