When a result is too large and cannot be saved to a file, Claude Code keeps only its opening part, a preview, in the conversation. Before, each preview was sized only by its own limit.\n\nNow each preview also counts against a running character budget for the whole turn, one round of Claude working on your request. Once that budget is used up, later previews are cut shorter, and the result is marked as shortened. This is off unless it is switched on remotely.\n\n**Why**\n\nIt stops many large unsaved results from filling up the conversation and crowding out everything else.\n\n- Flag `tengu_russet_abacus`: Off in both readings (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.321; this account: off, anonymous baseline: off, compiled default: off) These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.\n- Area: Tools\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
