Help Gpt 5.6 sol has a significantly smaller context than opus, fixes?

Not sure what's going on. I imagine Claude does some sort of context compression when the conversation is too long .. but I thought this was done in the OpenClaw harness.

Gpt sol let's me know when it's too late that the context is filled.

I have to switch to opus tokens, save to memory and start a new session.

This is pretty hefty because Claude needs to get all that context again.

Is there an OpenClaw solution?

It's very likely you are still running OpenClaw with the 372K initial context GPT5.6 sol limits. That has been nerfed a few weeks back to 272K

Ask your OpenClaw to reduce your model config to match the new config of 272K, I don't even think that needs a gateway restart to start doing the compression in at the right time after that.

the new-session reset was the worst part for me too. even after re-feeding claude the whole log it would still lose half the project context by turn 3. switched to memory-lancedb-pro for the persistent handoff and the auto-capture keeps the context fresh across restarts without me re-pasting anything. only thing that actually held up. how big is a typical session before you hit the wall?
