TL;DR

The error message suggests that extra usage is required for long context requests, despite the model being set to "Sonnet 4.6" and having enough available token percentage.

Guidance

• The error messages indicate a rate limit error for long context requests, which may not be directly related to the model version.
• Check the documentation for the API to see if there are any specific requirements or restrictions for long context requests.
• Verify that the available token percentage is correctly applied to the current request.
• Consider running the /extra-usage command to enable extra usage, as suggested by the error message.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue seems to be related to API usage and rate limiting rather than a specific code problem.

Notes

The issue may be related to the API's rate limiting policy, which could be independent of the model version or available token percentage. The error messages suggest that the request is being blocked due to rate limiting, despite the user's available token percentage.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Run the /extra-usage command to enable extra usage, as this may resolve the rate limiting issue and allow the request to proceed.
