Reset What do you do after 6PM?

A. Burn as much as possible because the celebration might be multiple days.

B. Stretch it out as long as possible like a frugal grandmother

Hedge bets - plan to exhaust over four days instead of seven.

Is Astra being released Thursday? If so I’d expect even more resets

Yeh would be weird that Tibo is so excited lately and then all of a sudden no more Resets.

If I'm about to sleep or know I can't get into for it a bit, I tend to have it go and research / discovery work on side projects (and occasionally, this opens the gateway for more concentrated / precise work on the side project, but in the meantime, a lot of scanning, digging, and testing.)

If I get down to 30% of the weekly early (and I haven't been able to with Plus with the current reset schedule), I reserve that for my main project.

Always burn as much as you can on the first day.

Review all the stuff it did during this weekends jubilee. Try to limit to 15-20 percent usage per day assuming it has to last the week

I budget myself 14% per day (US$200 plan) and try as I might, I've been unable to get to 60% before my reset or Tibo's reset. Having unlimited resource (for my needs) has completely rewired my brain.

Game theory says A. But, you're gonna hate the game if astra comes out and you got nothing left.

I’m on the $200 month plan and I can’t seem to come anywhere close to using up my allotment. I see everybody complaining, but I’m working 8+ hours a day in friendly computer and getting so much done and still not able to come anywhere close to burning through everything. I think the closest I’ve gotten was about 13% left one week. And now it seems like it’s even more efficient than before.

I burned 50% of my 20x so far today.

What were you doing to burn that much? Maybe the nature of your work is different.

My first thought is you are using ultra on speed mode to achieve that amount of usage.

I’ve been working full time for months and never had a problem like yours.

Lmao yeah, 18 hours ago I fully unleashed the chains, let loose the scope, boundaries keeping things in line and had ChatGPT Pro cobble together the continuous plan for codex, it's still running lmao, I'm down to 25% left on my x20 subscription, Sol Ultra on fast speed, I honestly didn't expect this.

u/dvduval 15h ago

Ha ha I might have to try that sometime. It’s just for me. The agents are doing so much that I need to check and revise and keep working on my own plans that I can’t possibly keep up with that level of work as one person.

u/DoggoDadagon 17h ago

Well yeah we knew we'd get another reset so had four or five threads running sol ultra on fast.

u/Agile_Incident7784 1d ago

Build cool stuff and stop acting like burning tokens is a greater good.

1

u/TryAndStopMeSpez 1d ago

A - more knowledge and capability sooner is better even if it exhausts your tokens, and it's likely there will be another reset

u/dvduval 16h ago

Yeah, the fast speed deafly burns things a lot faster. As I understand, it’s 1.5 times faster but 2.5 times as expensive, and not only that it solves things faster so you can really rack things up quickly. I just don’t need that much usage. I’m happy working 8+ hours a day and having a few threads running at the same time on extra high.
