For people using #shakespeare with Claude Sonnet 4.5 through OpenRouter or Anthropic - after your chat grows to a certain size, the cost for each message will DOUBLE. This is just Claude's pricing structure, and there's no easy way to detect it in Shakespeare (although the money counter in the corner is accurate).

To work around this, click "3-Dots" > "New Chat" every so often to reset your context window.

(Claude through Shakespeare AI does not have this problem, because we throw an error on the API side once you hit that level of use)

Same applies to Stacks presumably too.

What's the cli equivalent or do you just kill Dork?

Kill Dork

I want kill dork 😂😂😂

Could he periodically comit suicide when context window gets to a certain size or fees start to accelerate?

You can ask for a summary of you chat and use it as the first message on your new chat so you still keep relevant bits but in a smaller compacted size

Wow outrageously expensive
