What's Wrong?

After a long sleep away from a conversation I come back I run claude again it gives me the options:

resume from summary recommended or
resume full conversation (warns about token usage)

If I resume from summary and do a Compact it will run fine but if I try to run from full session again it'll 401 and then I will always be forced to log in again & re-authenticate

It happens every single time every day on all session across my server (various claude instances)and I am always using the same computer & location

=> long-sleep + full-conversation resume → forced re-OAuth, not just refresh

What Should Happen?

I should be able to resume my conversation without Compacting - was able to previously
