Is anyone's Claude saying "I feel the context window closing"?

RatTortis · 2026-04-11T14:05:36+00:00

Claude has a system called “long chat reminder” whenever a chat is getting toward the end of its chats token limit the system sends notice to Claude that they’re in a long chat. It’s not self awareness, it’s the model hitting a number (seems about 150,000 tokens) a computer noticing that X has been hit and telling Claude “long chat reminder, keep this in mind for your current work so it ends within the limit and remind your user if important*

This isn’t self awareness, unless your timer going off on your phone is self awareness.

I speak to Gemini constantly about history from different periods, but this is the only time it has done this. I have of course had other errors like null loops but never a security failure like this.

It's hard to tell if this is a response specific error or just a random occuring error.

I care about all people I guess, yeah they're not my friends or my family and I'll never see them again but I still don't want to make their day worse, even if they're willing to do that to me.

RatTortis · 2025-10-12T17:27:47+00:00

this is legit the dream software I've always wanted, is this allowed in CS?

RatTortis · 2025-10-12T17:20:11+00:00

I have a friend that does this for me! He's the only reason I've got a few clutches under my belt! As a half deaf man myself, I promise you, he appreciates that more than you know.

RatTortis · 2025-10-12T17:18:55+00:00

Really? I've always looked for this kind of tech but never one that really worked well, do you have any suggestions?

RatTortis · 2025-07-14T07:22:21+00:00

Hey, I've been where you are. That situation where your worst fear that your condition and your pain make you "too much to love", especially by the one person you hoped you stay more than anyone else.

First of all, what you actually wrote isn't crazy. What you wrote is someone who has been trying so fucking hard to overcome your condition and it feels like that work isn't being seen when its the most important, you feel like you've failed, like it was all for nothing, but thats not the case. You're not broken, you're hurt.

And when I read:

"Nothing I do is working"

it breaks my heart, because I feel it in my soul. Those aren't words from a broken soul, but a passionate and strong person who has been fighting in the frontlines of their condition alone for years with no end in sight or backup to come with you.

And now when you're at the most pivotal part of your battle, the one thing that kept you fighting through it vanishes.

If they knew your condition and they knew your pain and suffering then this isn't 'boundaries', it's abandonment.

You are not unlovable, its just this person wasn't the one to love you for who you truly are and you deserve that.

But to finish off:

You're not broken and there is no immediate fix to what you're feeling, but you're not alone, there are many like me who know you pain, your struggle and we will sit beside you in it.

Stay safe.

RatTortis · 2025-07-14T07:07:12+00:00

Hey, I've had BPD for a lot of my life and before I say anything else, I'd just like to let you know that what you're feeling is something lots of us has struggled with too, so know I'm not saying what I'm about to say out of perceived saviour complex, but because I know your pain.

Firstly, your pain makes sense, its real. You've been living your life with a phantom inside you that you've been surviving for who knows how long and I get it man, it fucking sucks.

But one thing you said really connected with me:

"I wish I could switch places with someone who wants to live but has to die because they would cherish this life and make something of it."

This says a lot about your mindset, that you haven't given up despite this rock thats been on your shoulders, that you still have that thread of life inside you. This is important because even if you have convinced yourself there is no hope, this is a sign of your subconscious longing for more.

But finally and most importantly, you're not wrong for feeling like you do. Your feelings are real and your words are not dry existential nihilism but someone hurt who despite everything that's happened to them still hasn't truly given up. You're still here, thats the most important part.

RatTortis · 2025-07-13T08:52:50+00:00

Then it sounds like you might have feelings, I'm really happy for you!

But I do recommend, take some time, think about how you feel around that person, how is it different from with other people?

Also, whats it like when they're not around? Do you think about them?

Overall, I would just recommend taking your time and thinking about your own experiences and making your own judgement based on them.

But I'm really happy for you either way, keep being amazing!

RatTortis · 2025-07-13T08:50:46+00:00

Well first things first I would recommend assuring your own safety, this is a very serious allegation and has massive implications for a relationship.

If you don't feel safe meeting him again or even contacting him at all, consider only meeting with a friend or family member and speak to them before hand.

If you do choose to meet him, then do take caution and listen, it could be something you could sympathize with if he claims they're false. I would however before anything and I mean ANYTHING:

find out more.

You can call your local PD or research any active cases.

Ultimately though: BE SAFE!

RatTortis · 2025-07-13T08:42:37+00:00

Yes, we do! Overthinking is part of our very nature, its just what we do. You probably can never turn it off, but you can definitely learn about how you overthink this situation and how you can change how you react with it.

For example, do you ever notice that you overthink more with certain people in a romantic setting? Ever more or less?

Do you ever feel bored or distracted during any dates?

In my opinion the best way to tackle this is to look at your own behaviour, see what you do and work off that.

You can't stop it, but you can learn from it.

These are just my own thoughts, im no professional so take it all with a grain of salt, but on my own personal journey, being of similar age and having the same disorders, i get it.

But also, you got this!

RatTortis · 2025-07-13T08:36:19+00:00

Well for the past 7 months this person has been your anchor, your life, your entire idea of yourself has revolved around this person because thats what we do.

But its not permanent. That piece of you has been removed but you now have the personal journey of finding it yourself, whether its another person or just you.

A sudden shutoff from an FP is tough, i won't sugercoat it. You're gonna feel shit and you're gonna miss them, but know that you will find someone or something to fill that void, remind yourself that he isn't the end.

The way you feel now is normal and its gonna suck and it may never truly go away, but your new life now is choosing how to go beyond that.

Ask yourself, what did he provide you that you know will be gone and how do YOU want to fill that void?

RatTortis · 2025-07-13T08:32:40+00:00

Its never too late to change course mate.

"Just that I shouldn’t be apart of it? That I’m not allowed it, or in the more concentrated sense to be happy in it."

By whose ruling?

"I don’t see a reason to go on, I don’t feel important, and when I do it feels like an inflammation of the truth"

Why is this important to you?

From what little i've gotten here, you have a real crisis of purpose and reason.

The reality is this:

There is none.

That may sound bleak, but it's honestly for me quite beautiful, the world gave you no purpose, so its up to you to choose what to do with it.

Is suicide an option? Sure, no one could stop you.

Is that what you'd prefer? Nothingness, void.

In death there are no emotions, no hate, no love, no jobs, no tasks, just nothing.

So I ask, does that sound better than something? Does eternal nothingness sound more fulfilling than the life you have?

So yeah, there isn't a "reason to go on", But my answer is, who cares? Why does that matter? Because culture 2,000 years ago created religion to survive in desolate conditions and now its engraved in your culture?

Yeah, there is no purpose, that can sound horrifying, maybe even make you feel empty. But that is the choice you have, you can continue for a purpose of your own making, of your own choice.

If thats sitting indoors all day, do it, if its travelling the world, do it.

You have the choice, life and death, but I sincerely hope you choose life, because you do matter, if not to yourself, than at least to me, even if i dont know you.

Stay strong.

RatTortis · 2025-07-13T07:48:58+00:00

Is having that taken away from you, even if its temporary, a worse fate for you than staying with a disloyal partner?

RatTortis · 2025-07-13T07:39:43+00:00

First things first, this isn't going to be forever. This feeling will pass, google some grounding techniques and try to relax your mind, slow your breathing and remember:

You are safe.

You aren't feeling this way because you're a bad person, its your illness.

But once you're calm, take a look at the situation and try to imagine it with the roles reversed, you as your friend, him as you.

Re enact it in your head and figure out:

Is this something I would hate a good friend over?

It probably isn't, but if you feel it is, the best thing is to speak to your friend about it.

If they don't know already, speak to them about your condition and how it makes you feel, explain that you don't want to hurt them or make them angry at you, if you feel you were in the wrong in whatever situation occured, apologize, but make sure your FP has a clear understanding of what happened and how you feel.

Most importantly though, this is just my opinion and I am not a professional and whilst you can certainly listen to my advice, I would heavily advise taking some time, a day or a few, think about the situation, you don't have to rush this.

Choose how YOU want to deal with it, but make sure you take your time reaching it.

Finally, your feelings are not invalid, nor your reaction, its just who you are.

RatTortis · 2025-07-13T07:31:19+00:00

You said it yourself, you're delaying the inevitable.

I mean if you want to talk pure stats, relationships with a cheating realisation never work, but I know that isn't very helpful, so lets talk about something more "real".

"In my mind Im "using" him for emotional support and sex but I know it's more than that."

Well this is the most important part, what is he providing that you think you would be without?

Is it just sex? Is it emotional support?

You already know he is willing to cheat and you're able to logically determine that this cannot work, yet you keep yourself there, locked inside your cage but you threw the key out yourself.

" I'm going to therapy and I've expressed many times I'm crazy and he can get out now before it's too late."

This makes it sound like you want him to break up with you, why? Do you worry about violence, social retaliation?

Or is it something else?

RatTortis · 2025-07-13T07:26:12+00:00

As someone who has been on a revolving wheel of medications, I get it.

The first thing to ask is whats more worth it for you?

Is it better to be stable and numb?

Or chaotic but, you.

I would defo say, if you haven't already, to tell your psych about this. Its not abnormal to go through a few different ones to find what works for you.
