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
