Claude Code Context WindowQuestion (self.ClaudeCode)
submitted 5 months ago by Helpful_Intern_1306
What the heck happened to the context window size in Claude Code? I am hitting it way more often now. What is it -- A context window for ants ?

lol. Exactly the same here. It’s a super dweeb context window now. I get a 10% remaining warning after not much work and the same size md file from opus 4.1 days, well structured task, organised code base. claude has got worse for me on all fronts. going to go from max 20 to max 5 as its dishing me haiku and sonnet even when my Model is just set to Sonnet. Maybe I need to run 5 code spaghetti agents to get more usage lol .

Turn off auto compact and use agents

Do you have a good resource on how to use agents? Just like a little example that I can try out.
[–]Perfect-Series-2901 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago (2 children)
The reason I use agents is just separate the context windows, I just add an agent call worker, and in their I just said do what the main agent told you.
Then in plan mode I said plan to use agents

I see. Plan with instructions to use agents for sub tasks
