[Bug] Context limit error during active compacting operation
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Feb 25, 2026 by Victorpay1 Closed Mar 1, 2026
Bug Description
In this session I was doing some compacting and I got the error message saying "context limit reached" and you have to compact, but I was already compacting so something went wrong in the compacting.
