claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [MODEL] Max number of tokens per file is now 10000 instead of 25000. [2 comments, 2 participants]

Claude Opus used to accept up to 25000 tokens per file. The model quality degraded absurdly in the last days and now my eyes caught some error messages saying that the max token limit per file is 10000.

TL;DR

The user needs to find a way to increase the token limit per file from 10000 to 25000 for the Claude Opus model to restore previous functionality.

Guidance

• Investigate the Anthropics API documentation to see if there are any configuration options or parameters that can be adjusted to increase the token limit per file.
• Check the release notes for version 2.1.96 of Claude Code to determine if the token limit change was an intentional update or a bug.
• Reach out to the Anthropics support team to inquire about the sudden change in token limit and potential options for increasing it.
• Consider searching for alternative models or APIs that support higher token limits if the current limitation is critical to the user's workload.

Example

No code example is provided as the issue is related to configuration or API limitations rather than code implementation.

Notes

The user's issue is specific to the Claude Opus model and the Anthropics API, so any solution will depend on the capabilities and limitations of these tools. The user has already searched for similar issues and found a potential correlation between the token limit change and recent updates.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The user should investigate alternative models or APIs that support higher token limits as a temporary solution until the issue with the Claude Opus model is resolved.
