[Bug] Auto-Compact subagent context incorrectly counted in main context window

Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Apr 3, 2026 by tylerlaprade Closed May 30, 2026

Bug Description
I was at 85% context usage and started to auto-compact. I canceled that, and then resumed the session, and now I'm at 17%. Did the massive amount of subagents accidentally count against my main context window?
