App Prototyper is working with reduced project context because your project is getting large

Has anyone started seeing this warning within their Prototyper:

“App Prototyper is working with reduced project context because your project is getting large”

I am now receiving the same warning. Nothing that I have in my project is very big. 2 small public files, only about 100 records in firestore, and about 40 pages in the app.

I wanted a new start with my app in regards to data. So I deleted the underlying firestore data. Which was only about 50 records. But I also deleted the mock-up data. Now the warning message is gone. So maybe the mock-up data was more than I had realized?

@jmorris644 Could you please explain in detail what you did to fix the problem? Sorry, but I’m no expert at all. Thank you very much!

When I first started the app, Gemini added a bunch of mock data to make it sort-of work. After I started using firestore I did not need the mock data anymore. I simply told Gemini to delete all mock data.

I am getting the same warning for the past two days. I am upgraded to Google Developer Premium program to get more context window and requests per day, but the warning still shows. I have even added .aiexclude to the code and added the non-important files there to avoid sending them to Gemini.

How can we solve this?

This is just a wild guess and might be wrong, but its possible to add a file .aiexclude to the root that makes stuff invisible to the ai, if its going into the node dirs looking for stuff that will fill its context really fast.

I always add an entry to the file excluding node, also i add a guideline to the GEMINI.md file to the same effect.
