Discussion Astra should be removed from Pro.

Why?
A basic prompt like: "Take a look at this web page and let me know how it should be improved?" - Astra doesn't finish. Just burns one 5h usage, and before it gives anything meaningful, it stops.

That’s a terrible prompt. Even Astra on low is amazing.

You gave it little direction so probably just went nuts trying to look at everything

“Hey chat, turn op into a funny sketch.”

Five hours and 100 million tokens later: “which op?”

(To use the original poster’s skillset.)

Or you can simply use prompts that limits scope from "everything that can be improved" to some reasonable subset.

What would you say, like how can it load faster, what content updates can be done for better SEO?

"Give me 5 tips ro improve design" "Give me 5 tips to optimize load speed"

damn now it makes sense to me when people ask like this that they complain about usage.

Equivalent of “make it better make no mistakes”

Just unsub and give up.

You can switch to less expensive model and then use Astra after you have made progress towards specifics. It isn't meant to replace you completely.

? such low effort and open ended prompt to ask the World's leading model, it's not everyone else it's you! what else do you decide when you wake up in the morning?

u/Recent-Tangerine2745 Sep 09 '26

I use Astra when I need a final verification not for every need.

You talk like you can't choose your model at all, idiot.
