I've hit a wall with Claude—my context window is completely full, and now it's truncating my output. After 40 prompts and two input documents, I can't add any more info, which is really frustrating because all my ideas are stuck in there. I'm trying to figure out how to continue working on my document from where I left off. Anyone have suggestions on how to deal with this?

I had a similar issue! So, what I did was copy the latest version of my document, then created a new conversation where I asked Claude to summarize my objectives and considerations. By pasting both the summary and the doc into a new chat, I was able to keep moving forward. In the future, try editing your last message if Claude's close but not quite right; it helps prevent that context overload.
I feel you! I've noticed that sometimes Claude doesn't give you any heads-up when you hit the max conversation length. It just says it's reached its limit and you're stuck. It’s super annoying because your previous work feels lost. I wish there were better warnings before that happens!
That's strange! I've been using Claude linked to my GitHub repo, but recently it’s been miscalculating resources. Like, my project takes up 34% but Claude is acting like it's double. It's bizarre! Have you noticed that issue happening too?
One trick I learned is to use a Claude Chrome extension to save your conversation. Then, load that into another LLM like ChatGPT or Gemini and ask it to summarize. It could help you break through the context limit and save your ideas!
You know, I had to get creative with it. I wrote some code to convert Claude’s output into a more manageable format and then just kept iterating from where it stopped. It’s not perfect, but it keeps moving forward when Claude starts from the beginning and loses the context.
