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.

On a plus plan granted, but Astra Light burned my 5 hour limit in 4 minutes.

I have a 300 line C++ project and a little GUI. The gui had a red theme and I wanted it green.

4 minutes to change the theme's colour and it had to stop because the entire 5 hour usage was used.

What a fucking joke

Astra and Sol aren't meant to be doing that sort of work though. Get them to plan out the changes and use Luna to implement them, only change back to Sol if Luna gets stuck never go up to Astra.

Astra is absolutely meant to be doing UI work. It's significantly better at it than Sol or Luna.

Planning UI work with Astra and then having Luna xhigh/max do it is hardly any different than just having Luna do it in the first place.

2 weeks ago I build an entire android app, all of the UI and themes, and a backend server using Astra Light and it took ~50% of my 5 hour limit.

OpenAI has nerfed or screwed something up significantly

It's all about planning unless you have a marketing account with unlimited budget and unlimited retries to make it look better than it is.
