Understand time and context in chat

Open the context indicator in Complexity to inspect the current request estimate and effective limit. Model access follows tenant and group permissions.

Complexity supplies current server time and the mailbox selected for the run. A browser clock or old message does not establish current time. Inherited model and context settings remain subject to effective permissions.

Before the next model call, the system checks request size and budget. On a context-limit error, shorten selected history or attachments. Use available compaction and continuation controls where offered.

Cumulative billing tokens differ from the current request's context size. See context controls and quota accounting.
