Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/SillyTavern/Extension-MessageLimit/issues/1

This is quite a useful extension for limiting chat history while providing ample room for World Info but it would be useful if an alternative method for limiting things was added. What I'd prefer is to set a number of tokens for the limit and then have it limit it based on that. For example, if I were to set it to 3,000 tokens, it should calculate how many messages back would account for that, rounding up or down to the next-nearest message. (I would prefer rounding up but I can see compelling reasons to prefer rounding down.) Individual messages can vary wildly in token count so having a number of messages set can also vary quite wildly. Setting a number of tokens would be more reliable in my use case.
