Compacting a Two-Day 900k-Token Session Became the Week's Running Joke on r/ClaudeAI
r/ClaudeAI (782 upvotes / 135 comments)·low signal
A post at 782 upvotes and 135 comments stages the /compact command as a goodbye scene at the end of a two-day, 900k-token working session. The humor is doing real work: it marks the point at which multi-day single-context sessions are common enough that losing one is a shared experience, and the comments turn quickly into practical discussion of what survives compaction and what people write to files first. Useful as a signal about where context management sits in day-to-day agentic workflows.
