Root Cause

The [1m] suffix on the model name in settings.json is being ignored. The context window is capped at 200k tokens instead of 1M, despite the setting being correctly configured. This was working ~24 hours ago.

Code Example

{
  "model": "claude-opus-4-6[1m]"
}
No project-level settings override the model.

Observed behavior
Context usage panel shows:


claude-opus-4-6
82.4k / 200.0k tokens (41%)
Autocompact triggers at ~200k. Sessions compact frequently during complex work.

Expected behavior
Context window should be 1M tokens as specified by the [1m] suffix:


claude-opus-4-6
82.4k / 1000.0k tokens (8%)
Environment
Claude Code version: 2.0.65
Running in: VSCode extension
OS: macOS (Darwin 25.4.0)
Model: claude-opus-4-6[1m]
Worked correctly: ~24 hours ago (2026-05-20)
Stopped working: 2026-05-21
Reproduction
Set "model": "claude-opus-4-6[1m]" in ~/.claude/settings.json
Start a new session (tried restart + /clear)
Check context usage — shows 200k limit instead of 1M
