Do you do this via settings or just keep track of it and manually ask it to do it more often?

(Not the person you're responding to, but) It says how close it is to compacting in bottom right, once it's getting close at least (30% left or something?)

Whenever I see that I think about whether I can find a good point to compact or clear. I also just try to clear whenever it makes sense to avoid getting there and try to give smaller tasks that can be cleared after they're done when possible.

Oh, I guess one thing I do is sometimes have it write a file with what was done, if I'm not actually sure if I want to clear or might want to come back to it. I also sometimes do this rather than compact during a large task - document status and clear.
