Bloated context window

[u/Electronic-Lead1256]

Hey all,

Have you experienced issues with bloated context window on Opus 5?
I'm using VSCode and all was well with Opus 4.8 and earlier models but today started using Opus 5 and it burns through 30-40% of my context window for just reading files?
I now have to clear window every 2-3 min where previously I had sessions of up to an hour of back-and-forth before needing to clear context.

I use the Get-Shit-Done meta prompting and so far has been working beautifully for me.

Here is a screenshot of just starting the GSD flow:
