• Setting · environment Idle Compaction Early Start idle compaction at 100K tokens instead of 200K (Claude Code 2.1.290+). A terminal conversation left idle for about 54 minutes is compacted before its one-hour prompt cache expires, so the next message does not reprocess it all. 100K is the lowest value Claude Code accepts. Idle compaction only runs when auto-compact is on and the session uses the one-hour prompt cache (the default on a Claude subscription; set ENABLE_PROMPT_CACHING_1H=1 on API billing). Do not combine with idle-compaction-off, which turns the feature off.

• Setting · environment Idle Compaction Off Turn off idle compaction (Claude Code 2.1.290+). By default, a terminal conversation over 200K tokens (CLAUDE_CODE_IDLE_COMPACT_MIN_TOKENS) that sits idle for about 54 minutes is compacted before its one-hour prompt cache expires; this only happens with auto-compact on and the one-hour cache in use. Use this if you would rather pay to reprocess the full conversation on your next message than continue from a summary. Do not combine with idle-compaction-early.
