I’m wondering if now that we can switch to assistants, do the messages that were previously sent in a thread still count as tokens with each message sent to the assistant? Previously when I built my own conversation history and sent it via the api they counted as tokens, I’m curious if that changes…

Do assistants count messages in the thread against the tokens limit?
