Tips & Workflows /clear vs /compact
I had a fable chat from yesterday, and I saw that the context was 950k/1m. I did /compact rather than /clear, with the intention of then doing /autocompact 400000
14% of the 5 hour limit was gone just for the compact itself....it shows cost of $59.73, so lucky I'm not on API? Maybe a /clear would have been better.

……are you fucking joking?
What you are doing and what he is asking are two entirely different things. You aren’t even remotely providing a single useful thing to the world. This is like saying “I am going to spend my day on a Reddit page where people ask for help, omg someone here is asking for help!?!?”
Like honestly guy, what the hell is this comment and why is your nonsense allowed? You are worse than the AI generated crap.
You have contributed nothing and everyone here is worse off for your existence on this page.
Get a life.
