09/23/2025, 7:23 PMI understand that figuring out the character limits can be a bit confusing! While there isn't a clearly documented maximum character limit for the initial context when starting an assistant session, there is a 1024-byte limit for individual messages in some setups. This usually means around 1024 ASCII characters or fewer if you're using UTF-8 encoding. Also, just so you know, the system will trim the chat context if it goes beyond 40 messages during initialization.
If you're having trouble managing the initial context size or running into any specific issues, please feel free to reach out. I'm here to help and would be happy to guide you through it!
