Idle compaction added to Claude Code: long idle sessions compact before the cache expires, saving usage
"It now compacts long idle sessions right before the prompt cache expires (~1h). If you come back to it later, it only has to reprocess the summary instead of the entire conversation, which saves you some usage."
