[Bug] Context Window Overflow Despite Reported Available Space

Bug Description
I keep hitting 200k context window max when /context shows that I have plenty of space, and that the calude.md file doesn't eat up much for context. At this point, claude code is unusable , and I need to make a decision on what else I can use instead
