What issue are you seeing?
The following message appears and the session cannot continue.
■ Conversation is still above the token limit after automatic summarization (limit 244800, current 248148). Please start
a new session or trim your input.
■ stream disconnected before completion: stream closed before response.completed
What steps can reproduce the bug?
When using it near the context limit, it ends up in this kind of state.
By the way, this session has repeatedly gone from full context to automatic compaction multiple times since 0.57.00.
I tried ending it once with Ctrl+C and resuming, but the situation didn’t change.
Even after using the /compact command, the situation remains unchanged.
What is the expected behavior?

You appear to be confusing context window usage (which is affected by
/compact) and token usage rate limits. The error you are seeing here indicates that you have reached your five-hour token rate limit. This will reset after the five-hour period elapses.
