A P1 behavioral regression in v2.1.62 causes sessions that undergo context compaction to operate on stale context with high confidence, resisting user redirection. Root cause: a server-side KV cache fix increased hit rates on stale prefix entries without adding compaction-event invalidation. Workaround: use --no-compaction flag or start fresh sessions instead of resuming compacted ones. Anthropic also reset usage limits for affected users after caching bugs drained budgets 2-5x faster than normal.
