[Bug] Compaction Failure: Conversation Length Inconsistency
Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Oct 5, 2025 by toddkitchens Closed Oct 5, 2025
Bug Description
First few auto or manual compacts work then it will run up to zero and not allow compact -->
"Error: Error during compaction: Error: Conversation too long. Press esc twice to go up a few messages and try again."
Interestingly if you ask Claude how much context is left he will say something like "We have 64k tokens left, plenty for a few more turns".
