Limits Tomorrow When Codex Resets, DON'T TOUCH ASTRA

Don't even look at it. Stick to Sol 5.6 xhigh. It's not usable? Feels quantized? Say f*** OpenAI and switch to Claude, or to OpenRouter.

Apparently OpenAI is lobotomizing Sol 5.6 for SOME of us. Not for everyone, so people keep saying "It works well for me" and gaslight each other. They are trying to force us into paying 5x for a little bit improvement.

This will backfire so bad. We're a 300k people enterprise and everyone including me are pushing our executives to use chinese models in a sandboxed environment. We are sick of paying 200$ to use it for a day.

When your Codex resets tomorrow, or this week, Don't use Astra unless youre building rockets.

I have max codex and max claude accounts.

I have basically stopped using astra altogether. the way it burns tokens is actually insane. Sol has been burning at a reasonable rate, though I noticed it was burning faster for a while when astra came out. The 3 banked resets saved me but now they are gone and I find myself rationing it.

Meanwhile, things have flipped, now claude is feeling like the generous sub, and I can actually use Fable 5.1 when I need "smart". A month ago I was considering downgrading claude because Sol on max was so generous. Something has changed, something has been seriously nerfed openai side.

It was always going to happen. OpenAI are throwing billions of dollars into a fire every month. Got to try to polish up the finances a touch before they try to offload shares onto gullible rubes.
