Genuine question seeing all of the posts lately debating limits and session quotas - does anyone take the time to set up any observability? I run into my limits like anyone else don’t get me wrong, I just feel like it’s at the same pace it always has been (even during double usage - don’t really recall running into my limits less either) I have a little status line tool I made after seeing someone here post one I really like the look of - I’ve since iterated on that to add in a context ‘health’ meter in my status line that shows current context usage, available context, and system context overhead so I have a constant live feed of exactly what hits my context the hardest and when - I can see when my cache busts, compaction degrades, etc. I’m starting to wonder if people just don’t understand their setup and they’re stuffing their context window to shit unknowingly. Check your configs folks - it’s the simple stuff that bites you! P.S. I used em dashes before it was cool submitted by /u/Itsallso_tiresome
