banteng: code untouched since Sep 24 — Astra still stuck with 3-minute compactions
banteg · x · 2026-10-04
Developer banteng notes that the code related to a compaction issue was last touched on September 24, meaning it has never been fixed. In a follow-up he remarks the report was "completely memory-holed."
The practical result: Astra users still live with compaction pauses of up to 3 minutes — a rare first-hand complaint highlighting that long-context compaction speed remains a real pain point in AI coding tools.
