What version of the IDE extension are you using?

Latest as of 20-04 (native vscode)

What subscription do you have?

Free, and a I use about 10 free accounts in rotation

Which IDE are you using?

Vscode - release

What platform is your computer?

Linux ( But I also use freebsd) , the ide is on linux

What issue are you seeing?

the %user%/ is on but I am unable to create a new memorise Its seems to get stuck about 2

when it clearly made about 300lines, but it wont create more

it does attempt to cite ,... every so often , I get cited memorise... but it completely stopped at one point
-----

some time I ask it something like "please add this to your memory" and it refuses

I understand the many limits its facing but we are already able to have 300k Lines context widnow

and you cant have a 900 lines file and a 4000 lines file .... and each line point to a bigger memory ... and each word
makes the llm ,,, spew more text which consume more tokens .... which is hard for machine but easy for humans,... but llm is better than humans... becuse it finds the answer in the end

while it clearly works sometimes ... Inconsistant

on 5.4 got it more often , I just cant seem to reenable it ,

but it seems like a good tool...
