Bug Description
Today, after updating to Claude Code 0.2.54, the automatic context compression hasn't worked at all, and I'm getting the error: 'API Error: input length and 'max_tokens' exceed context limit: 187577 + 20000 > 204698, decrease input length'.
Steps to Reproduce
- Update to Claude Code 0.2.54
- Operate under normal usage conditions until the context becomes large
- When automatic compression should occur, the above error is displayed
Expected Behavior
When the context size becomes large, the automatic compression feature should work, allowing operations to continue without errors.
Actual Behavior
getting the error: 'API Error: input length and 'max_tokens' exceed context limit: 187577 + 20000 > 204698, decrease input length'.
Additional Context
In previous versions, automatic compression functioned without issues.
