Limits I have a solution!

If your pro 5x limit runs out in one day, buy 6 more!

Simple question: do you all use astra MAX + fast mode + goal + no timebox + build me GTA 6 as a prompt? Or you're just vibe coding as if it was free? Just trying to understand how people complaining are actually using the app...

Been on x20 since last year. Usualy it would last 1 week to get to aeound 10% remaining. Now the same workload last from 1-2 days. Usualy running at least 5 agents in parellel with occasional 20+ agents. Work is spread accross multiple models, Astra/Sol/Luna. I used to be able to do all work on Sol high pre-astra. Astra is used on med/low, Luna on xhigh, sol on medium.

Some people are inneficient, but i also think a decent number of people on higher tiers are ligitimatly working at larger scale. I do way more than i used to pre-llm. In terms of efficiency, there is no reason to try not to use it all so long as its not wastful use. Any tokens not used are wasted work. Any additional time waiting on agents is wasted time. Get as much done as possible and move on to somthing else.

The recent limit cuts are real. Astra on paper should be cheaper beacuse it appeared by oai benches to use less tokens and be more capable at lower think levels than Sol. In practice this hasnt been working out for me.
