If compacting keeps failing, a safety stop called a circuit breaker makes Claude Code stop trying.\n\nBefore, every failure counted toward that stop. Now some failures go on a separate tally and do not add to the main one. The separate tally has its own stopping point.\n\n**Why**\n\nSome compaction failures may no longer make Claude Code stop retrying as quickly.\n\n- Area: Compaction\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
