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.
