Here's a manual work around I found that's been working for many users, please refer to this GitHub discussion for more information where I originally posted it - https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/18866#issue... : my message - "I was getting compacting issues like everyone else here. I was able to manually trigger compaction by doing this: on the most previous message that went through and prompted a response from Claude, resend this chat, for me Claude rewrote this message then on the next one (the message that previously had a compacting issue) I typed /compact at the beginning and Claude then compacted the message. Not sure if this was just by chance or if /compact actually did something. Hope this helps someone else"
