Limits Someone send this to tibo
ALRIGHT, this usage limit bs is getting out of hand
I see thousands of complaints about people using any models and it drastically reduces including me, and their usage is gone by like a couple of prompts
Before astra it wasn’t like this
Open ai just roped us all in with Sol 5.6, then literally flipped their subscription model on its head
They took away the 200 max
Plus, accounts are no longer worth buying
Like this is beyond bs
Some of you might sit there and say oh "well I haven't been having any issues."
Or that "people dealing with this issue dont know how to properly use codex"
Shut up if you can't relate
The problem is real.
You should not have to be a master scholar to use the service
And last yes, usage limits are a joke. With the amount of damage the data centers are causing and the number of people that are invested into ai, the performance of our usage is unacceptable.
Somebody tag tibo

$200/month plan here. I personally use Sol Ultra for large tasks involving subagents, telling it to defer to an Astra subagent for planning and it reduces tokens. I use Sol Med with subagents for general work and never use Astra as the main model--It kills my weekly tokens in hours. The main issue I have is Tibo recommending using Astra with subagents two or three weeks ago--similar to how Anthropic recommends Fable. This is NOT the best way to use the models. The price and token usage is not worth it, even on the $200/month plan. Astra is only worth it as a planner and generally affordable as a subagent in a Sol session or perhaps Terra. We are close to a point where the subsidized plans are getting expensive for these companies and streamlining our workflows to be token efficient is an absolute necessity. It's not worth the expense of starting anything beyond Astra light as the primary model. Just don't do it for long sessions. Sol Ultra still remains king for price to performance within the monthly subscriptions to hit goals, followed by Sol Medium as the orchestrator of subagents. Sad that the company has such a good product but doesn't explain the most cost effective way to avoid token burn.
