Feature: increase /resume session list limit beyond 50
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Mar 18, 2026 by KUANKEI21 Closed Mar 21, 2026
Problem
The /resume session picker currently has a hardcoded limit of 50 sessions (gmT = 50 in the source). For power users who accumulate hundreds of sessions across profiles, only the 50 most recent are visible in the picker UI.
While the search function (/ in the picker) does search across all sessions, there's no way to browse or paginate beyond the initial 50.
Current behavior
/resumeshows at most 50 sessions (sorted by most recent)- The picker displays
1/50— users may not realize older sessions exist - The source has a
nextIndexreturn value suggesting pagination was planned, but the UI doesn't expose a "load more" mechanism - No configuration option exists to change this limit
Proposed solution (any of these would help)
- Configurable limit: Allow users to set the session list size via settings (e.g.,
"resumeLimit": 100) - Pagination / load more: Expose the existing
nextIndexmechanism in the UI so users can load older sessions - Increase the default: Bump the default from 50 to a higher number (e.g., 200)
Context
- Tested on Claude Code v2.1.78 (macOS, arm64)
- User has 400+ sessions across multiple profiles
- The search workaround helps but requires knowing keywords from the session you're looking for
