+1 to this. I restarted Claude this morning to get onto Sonnet 4.5 from Sonnet 4 and found that I'm hitting compaction every 5 minutes or so. This is markedly worse than Sonnet 4.
This issue is not a duplicate because it's specifically on the compaction frequency of Sonnet 4.5
I don't think it's specifically 4.5 that is compacting. I had a perfectly fine experience with 4.5 before, but I guess I updated a few days ago and now it's compacting every 4 minutes... Or however long it takes, I don't keep track, but it's so much worse than before.
Same problem here. Version 2.0.14. Compaction occurs much more frequently than before, making it almost hard to work properly.
Fix landed, and is going out tomorrow morning. Thanks for the report!
