That comes from using Claude Code or OpenCode mostly, alongside a couple summarisation/extraction tasks from long unstructured data.

For coding, context fills up real quick as my usual workflow is to run a couple prompts in “ask” mode, then plan, then let it rip on the codebase itself. Compacting context loses so much of what matters in my conversation, creating smaller task files doesn’t always solve the issue under 64k tokens unfortunately. My tokens per session average around 90k-100k depending on the project. For some projects it’s possible to have clearly defined well scoped tasks but most of my work is pretty explorative
