FEATURE

Remote compaction counts retained images toward token budgets and reduces older ones as needed

Sending multiple screenshots in a long conversation

When Codex runs remote compaction to compress lengthy conversation histories on the server, it now counts retained images toward its token budget by default. The mechanism reduces older images as needed to keep things lean. This ensures that long discussions stay safely within context limits without silently overflowing due to accumulated image history, while preserving your most recent visual references.
