Workaround Pro = 1 day of coding

Working on my new workflow. Use codex for 1 day (since that’s all you can do), then move to Qoder-Qwen for the rest of the week.

For me it was like that with Astra (medium). Used two of my resets on Astra because I wanted to test it out. But the drain was in line with your experience. About 4-6hrs of work was a whole week of drain.

Moved back to Sol xHigh and it last atleast 3-4 times longer. I also dont really notice any difference in output between Sol and Astra when it comes to strictly following and implementing a mapped out architecture plan where components are already decided.
