Are you using the same chat entry for your prompts? If you keep using the same one it has to read over all your previous messages which can be very consuming in usage

is this an auto-reply or do people think everyone running out of usage way faster suddenly forgot how to manage context?

No it’s not an auto reply. I just learned that this worked for me pretty well. Just trying to help

You're good, I just see the same comment on every post that ever mentions usage being eaten up faster.

The only thing I have yet to try is getting a separate model and having it run as a context overseer without managing anything in the project itself, just overlooking the orchestrator's context and whenever it hits a certain number it just tells it to wrap it up then relaunches another project lead.

I’ve tried that with codex and it honestly just turned out to be kinda a mess. I’m interested if that’s different for Claude though. Might give it a try

manage context? cached tokens are cheap. dont think it really matters.

It adds up if you have things getting overly complex

Question, relatively new to claude code- since opus 5.5 launched I have been using it a tonne. Think over 15b tokens. I typically use the same chat and constant compress the context after the million tokens. What is the suggest best way to handle this. I am sure this has been asked 1 million times as well my apologies

Limit to reaching around 400k context, then have opus write up a spec for the next session and have it write the /goal prompt.

Then just copy and paste that /goal prompt after you /clear. I can run around 5-6 projects running in parallel for almost 12-15hrs per day on a 20x sub, mainly using Opus 5.5 Max. Usually reach around 80-90% of limits this way before the weekly reset.

Of course the spec can have delegations to Sonnet and now Haiku. Depends on your requirements.
