Images can be 1,000-2,000+ tokens each; removing stale ones cuts that per turn
Drop the Screenshot Once the Model Has Read It
Images, PDFs, and attachments are charged as tokens and re-sent every turn in a multimodal thread. After the model has described or transcribed one, you usually don't need to keep sending the pixels.

50-90% on file-heavy prompts

Trims re-sent history; often 20-60% fewer input tokens per turn after a topic switch
