What's Wrong?
(uid=14_91):
When using Claude Code v2.0.5, I encounter an API error stating that too many cache_control blocks are
being sent. The error message indicates that 5 cache_control blocks were found, but the API only allows
a maximum of 4 blocks.
Error details:
{
"type": "error",
"error": {
"type": "invalid_request_error",
"message": "A maximum of 4 blocks with cache_control may be provided. Found 5."
}
}
}
