Prompt is too long: the number of tokens exceeds the maximum allowed limit.

To fix the "prompt is too long" error in the Anthropic API, you need to ensure that your prompts do not exceed the maximum token limit. Here are some concise solutions:

Trim the Prompt

Reduce the length of your prompt to fit within the allowed token limit.

Optimize Prompt Length

• Use clear, concise language in your prompts.

• Provide specific instructions to guide the model's responses.

• Leverage system messages to set context and behavior expectations.

Dynamic Trimming

Implement a mechanism to dynamically trim the prompt if it exceeds the token limit before sending the request to the API.

Retry with Adjusted Prompt

If the prompt is too long, trim it and retry the request. This can be automated to handle cases where the initial prompt exceeds the limit.
