Yes, it never compacts anymore, just stops responding in the middle of a discussion. i thought it was one off but after 7 sessions of the same behavior it became very frustrating.

I have been on Max + 20 plan for over 6 months without any issues that is why I’m wondering if this is something new.

claude has half the context window size of codex and blows through a good percentage of it right off the bat by injecting a system prompt the size of don quixote

Claude code sucks. Only noobs and X stans push it imo.

It is all related, it happens in the middle of a debug session where it just stops responding with no error message and my last message remains in the chat window. i have to then start a new session and explain the context of pervious session and Claud goes on to ask for more context from the code and then by the time I get to any new code the session does what i explained above. i don’t allow Cluade to access my code directly its only via chat ui interaction. My usage data in the settings shows I have used less than 4% of alloted tokens

i think it is happing way more quicker than ~65%, more like ~20% in my case. My sessions used to last me one week before, now 1 hour of plain back and forth stops the discussion without a single compact, no errors.
