# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Token threshold locking out session reclamation logic

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These items concern a bug where sessions exceeding a token threshold have no reclamation path triggered, allowing context to grow unchecked until model quality degrades. The accompanying fixes address a locking condition in the pruning/rearm logic that blocks over-threshold sessions from being compressed or reclaimed.

## TL;DR

- 3 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 1 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 1 merged PR(s), 1 PR(s) closed without merging.
