Context
Every model can only hold so much of a conversation at once — its context. OpenChamber shows how full that is, so you can tell when a session is getting close to the limit and a reply might start dropping older detail.
The quick indicator
While you chat, a small gauge shows the percentage of context used. It changes color as you fill up:
- green — plenty of room
- yellow — getting full (around three-quarters)
- red — nearly full
Hover it (or tap it on mobile) to see exact token counts.
The full context panel
Open the Context tab in the right sidebar for a fuller picture of the current session:
- the model in use and when the session started
- total tokens against the model’s limit
- message and cost totals
- a breakdown of the last reply’s tokens
- a rough split of what’s taking up context (your messages, the agent’s, tool output)
The breakdown is an estimate, not an exact count — use it to spot what’s filling the window, not for billing.
What to do when it’s full
Start a fresh session for a new task instead of letting one session grow forever. A shorter context is faster and keeps the model focused.
