Preflight Checklist

  • I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
  • This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
  • I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

I'm on the newest version of claude code (2.1.119) and picking claude-opus-4-7 (200k context window) in the model selector silently routes you to the claude-opus-4-7[1m] variant. This just started happening today, and no, I haven't changed anything in my settings.

What Should Happen?

claude --model claude-opus-4-7 should use the 200k model (claude-opus-4-7), not claude-opus-4-7[1m].

  2. claude --model claude-opus-4-7
  3. /context

Additional Information

settings.json

If you want to force the actual 200k model, add this to ~/.claude/settings.json:

"env": {
  "CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXT": "1"
}

P.D.: Even when I keep usage under 200k tokens on the 1M variant, it feels dumber than the 200k model. And after their April 23 postmortem admitting to three separate quality regressions in Claude Code, call me paranoid, I personally feel the 1M variant is quantized or something in the Claude Code harness behaves differently with it, That's why I'm not just setting CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_COMPACT_WINDOW.

extent analysis

TL;DR

To fix the issue, add "CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXT": "1" to the env section in ~/.claude/settings.json to force the use of the 200k model.

Guidance

  • The issue seems to be related to the model selection in Claude Code, where the claude-opus-4-7 model is being silently routed to the claude-opus-4-7[1m] variant.
  • The provided workaround is to add "CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXT": "1" to the env section in ~/.claude/settings.json to force the use of the 200k model.
  • Verify that the fix worked by running claude --model claude-opus-4-7 and checking the context usage to ensure it's using the 200k model.
  • If the issue persists, try resetting the settings to their default values and reapply the workaround.

Example

{
  "env": {
    "CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL": "max",
    "CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXT": "1"
  },
  ...
}

Notes

  • The issue is reported to be a regression, and the last working version was 2.1.118.
  • The user has already tried setting CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_COMPACT_WINDOW, but it didn't resolve the issue.

Recommendation

Apply the workaround by adding "CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXT": "1" to the env section in ~/.claude/settings.json, as it seems to be the most straightforward solution to force the use of the 200k model.
