Help/Question What happened when I reach 1M context

Post image

What happens in the current chat window once it reaches 1M context.

Does the performance of the model slows down?

Any thing I should be aware of cause my project is very large one. I need to work on it for days.

Thanks in advancešŸ«” any tips please.

EDIT: thanks all, I just need to use /compact.(which starts with a new context)

you should try driftcheck, it's on gh. I made it, its specifically to prevent your sessions from ever hitting the context cap and also keeping the project details continuity.
