TL;DR

The issue is likely due to the conversation compactor function failing to work, resulting in an "Extra usage is required for 1M context" error, and can be mitigated by running the /extra-usage command to enable extra usage or switching to the standard context using the /model command.

Guidance

• The error messages suggest that the conversation compactor function is failing, leading to the "Extra usage is required for 1M context" error.
• Running the /extra-usage command may enable extra usage and resolve the issue.
• Alternatively, switching to the standard context using the /model command may also resolve the issue.
• The provided error logs indicate multiple errors, including rate limit errors and API errors, which may be related to the conversation compactor function failure.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue seems to be related to the functionality of the conversation compactor and the provided error logs do not suggest a specific code-related fix.

Notes

The issue may be related to the version of the software being used (2.1.110) and the platform (win32). The error logs suggest that there are multiple errors occurring, which may be related to the conversation compactor function failure.

Recommendation

Apply the workaround by running the /extra-usage command to enable extra usage or switching to the standard context using the /model command, as the error messages suggest that this may resolve the issue.
