I'm also getting this. Barely getting started with anything and then "Context low" and can't even run compact.

Same issue, at the start of any claude code conversation with empty context: " Context low · Run /compact to compact & continue".

/compact and /clear (reset) do not help...

  ⎿  Context low · Run /compact to compact & continue

What to do?

Same issue. Conversation runs for a few minutes. Less than 30k tokens then shows 'Context low'

@sid374 Has there been any further investigation into this issue?

opencode is working hooked up to my claude pro max plan! https://opencode.ai/

i fixed it by removing some mcp servers.

@ryanmmmmm do you have the BASH_MAX_OUTPUT_LENGTH set in your environment variables when you run claude?

You can use the new /context command to determine whether/how the context is being pre-filled.
