I'm curious about how my knowledge base affects the length of my chats with Claude. If I have a knowledge base that's over 90% as a pro user, does that mean my chat limits are affected? I've got a project where the knowledge base exceeds 90%, but I can't even get it to respond for one turn. What's the deal with having a solid knowledge base if it restricts my interactions?

It sounds like you're running into the context window limit of the model rather than a limitation from the knowledge base itself. When your knowledge base is over 90%, you're actually working within a 20k token context window that includes both your inputs and Claude's outputs. That's pretty tight, so it's not surprising that you're struggling to get a single prompt through.
Got it, but how much should I ideally keep my knowledge base under to avoid this issue?
