claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug] Auto-compact triggers at 16% despite CLAUDE_AUTOCOMPACT_PCT_OVERRIDE=30 set [3 comments, 3 participants]

TL;DR

The auto compaction issue may be resolved by checking the override settings and environment variables, particularly the CLAUDE_AUTOCOMPACT_PCT_OVERRIDE variable.

Guidance

• Verify that the CLAUDE_AUTOCOMPACT_PCT_OVERRIDE environment variable is correctly set to 30 at the project level and that it is being properly read by the application.
• Check for any other environment variables or settings that may be overriding the CLAUDE_AUTOCOMPACT_PCT_OVERRIDE value.
• Review the changes made in the update from v116 to v119 to see if there are any changes related to auto compaction or environment variable handling.
• Test the application with the CLAUDE_AUTOCOMPACT_PCT_OVERRIDE variable set to a different value to see if the issue persists.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the v119 version, and reverting to v116 may be a temporary workaround. However, without further information, it is unclear what changes were made in the update that caused the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Revert to v116 until the issue is resolved in a future version, as the issue started after updating to v119.
