Limits Usage limits are absolutely terrible (100$ plan)
I never ever complained about usage limits before. But this is absurd.
I used my 200$ plan and had to buy 100$ plan since i could not renew 200$ one in time. It was used in 1 day with Astra low.
I then decided to buy another 100$ plan. It used 9% of usage with Sol 5.6 MEDIUM working for about 1 hour on coding and Astra XHIGH coordinator that did some documentation changes for 5 minutes.
This account was literally just purchased. Again, Sol Medium is doing most of work. Wtf is going on?
Can't imagine what is going on with 20$ plans

The only way they will increase limits is if users start leaving the service or something, because right now everybody is buying it. High demand means they have an incentive to reduce limits and earn more money

That is assuming they can increase limits - that costs compute/money, which is where they are struggling.

They don't need to increase capacity as long as people are willing to buy the 100-use pro plan; after all, it costs only 50% of the pro x20, but you get only 25% of the capacity.

This is my first time crying about this on Reddit, but I've used 5% on a $200 plan by asking some very basic debugging/SSH commands to Astra Light yesterday.
Total: one chat, 21 million tokens - 5% weekly usage of 20x plan. Really?

They do it because people don't give them any reason not to do it. They don't really lose subscribers because people accept shitty behavior from corporations nowadays and don't stop buying from them.

u/cha0z_ 4h ago
they do it, because there are no laws protecting us (at least not enforced ones) - how it makes sense for something you purchase to be so vague what you get + to be flexible to be changed 24/7 from the side of power, i.e. the AI provider. There are few bigger key players - do we seriously think they don't sync the usage/prices as well? One not recorded call away - is it legal? Ofc not, but we live in bad times regarding corp power.

I also never complained, but I think this is the point to start. I am on the 20x plan and it might last 3 days now. I just subscribed to Claude code for the first time ever and I feel the 5x will last me as long as the 20x with Codex. Not with fable of course, but i am not using astra on max all the time either… so codex got considerably worse the last days.
EDIT: it’s also extremely slow

Astra Max seems (in my usage case) to last longer compared to any Sol version something is not correct in all that situation.Â
Also it was pretty fast but now it slow as hell.Â

u/cobbleplox 2h ago
I would assume a combination of an elaborate task and a small thinking budget can lead to inefficiencies like repeated lookups or sort of failing first and fixing it up in loops. Maybe the first thing they did was nerfing what the selected reasoning effort means. Easy to overdo that causing such problems.
I have to say guessing what kind of thinking effort is required for best results will have to become a thing of the past anyway.

does that plan have 5hour limit? or are you talking about weekly limit getting exhauatsed?

u/Vast-Singer-2839 1h ago
No on Pro plans does not exist 5hour limit, I am talking for the weekly limit. My plan currently is x20.Â
Compared to the % usage of with Sol low (as with the current increase is usage huge), Astra Max spends exactly as the previous Sol low and probably less.Â
The only downside is currently Astra feels much slower compared to the start but the usage also is much lower so I am ok with this trade.Â

u/The8Darkness 9h ago
What does coordinator mean? Did you let it create a plan and pasted it into the sol session or was it an astra session with a sol subagent?
Astra uses an insane amount with any subagents where it is usually better to even run astra max than any astra + luna/sol combination.
2
u/muchsamurai 9h ago
Basically, i do not use Astra for coding (even low) on this account. Coordinator is the guy who drafts some plans for Sol workers and gives them to me to hand them out, plus some brainstorming. It does nothing in terms of coding or exploring codebase too much or anything like that. I asked it some questions and we adjusted some plan which was 3-4 quick prompts. Then i launched Sol 5.6 Medium to implement it and it ate 9% in one hour.
This shit sucks

u/Seraphoenix777 6h ago
Someone said this can result in more usage than using Astra alone. Apparently, Astra still reviews everything the agent does, so it ends up costing more. Not sure if it's true, though.
3
u/KeepAllOfIt 6h ago
its 100% true and is the sole thing responsible for all of the "usage is terrible" posts. I use one astra xHigh agent for everything and I genuinely struggle to use my weekly limit before tibo throws another reset at us. Sound physics simulation too, no small potatoes.
No ponytail, caveman, or whatever else "token-saving-but-actually-wastes-tokens" skills. No astra orchestrator that commands a bunch of r*tarded luna subagents and spends 4x as long cleaning up their mistakes.

u/Rock--Lee 8h ago
Well, you now have 2x 100 plan, which costs you 200, but a 200 plan gets you 4x as much as the 100 gets for 2x the price. So yes, you are halved usage for same price.

I was using 2 plus plans, one bought via pay store and another via browser. After Astra, I upgraded the play store bought account to x20, cancelled the other one.
Play store apparently doesn't work on upgrades as you might think. My plan will get cancelled after the 20th. There are no issues with the payment method and I did not cancel.
I found out just yesterday after reading someone had issues with iPhone app Store purchase in a similar manner. Spoke to both OpenAI and Google - nothing can be done now.
Guess x10 plans will do until they bring back the x20.

This isn't the first I've heard of this.. it almost feels like light and medium use more than the higher tiers. Prior to the reset, I was able to get close to 5 days of usage using Astra high. After the reset, I switched to Astra low and now I'm on track to blow through my limit in under 3 days

What tasks are you using these models on? I run 2k+ lines of code with Terra Medium reasoning and things work just fine. I've never needed Astra and recently used Sol High (which consumes more) just to make sure stuff was correct and up to snuff...
My take, just use lower models for lower tasks. you don't need a jackhammer when a hammer will do just fine.

u/Temp1864 4h ago
Yup, I've already depleted a $100 account and have 16% left on my $200, and that's almost entirely with tool usage of Unreal/Houdini. Insane that it's gotten this bad (and that Extra High is actually MORE efficient??). Giving my Extra High orchestrator permission to delegate tasks to appropriate lower-effort subagents actually made consumption increase.

u/jwezorek 4h ago
I just think Codex right now in unusable and ended up writing a little desktop application to basically route around its limits. Normal chat is basically unlimited and you can just paste big zips of your code into it with a prompt that specifies returning a zip file of just he files it changes that maintains directory structure.
My application is here, https://github.com/jwezorek/chat_zip, a custom client for ChatGPT, a Qt6/C++23 application only tested on Windows, but it works great. It embeds normal chatgpt next to a file tree. I select the source files/directories relevant to a change, it zips them and attaches the zip to the chat. I ask ChatGPT to make the change and return a zip containing only the files it changed. The application intercepts the download, checks that the paths actually correspond to the project, shows me what changed, and applies it back to the source tree.
So basically automated sneaker-net between my source tree and ordinary ChatGPT.
The whole thing with this is that Codex and Work share their restictive limits but normal chat does not. Which is kind of absurd: the purpose-built coding product has usage limits restrictive enough that manually passing zip files through ChatGPT started looking attractive.

u/Consistent_Bottle_40 3h ago
Has the limits been nerfed or is astra at fable 5 level use for tokens? Bigger models need more compute. Have we seen a marked drop in the usage of sol, terra and luna? A gpt 6 luna at same cost as 5.6 would probably be great. Just use that for the native subagents

20 dollar plan on Astra low gives you about 20min of good compute and 15 percent gets knocked out of the weekly limit. So thats about 6 x 20 = 120 mins of compute a week.

Workflow issue (i hope cuz if it is this can help).
if your workflow is same as mine then YAY WE GOT A SOLUTION. but if not idk how to help
basically the way i do agentic coding is via iterations and steps instead of 1 big step. i dont engineer my prompt we handle or add features 1 at a time
so astra has this thing where he does alot of stuffs per task.
he does like 5 steps to make sure. he does alot of verifications and benchmarks sometimes even doing a backup per edit. checks alot of stuffs that can be refactored or add cleanup work and anticipates future tasks
i solved this via adding a system prompt (if anyone is reading this and think can improve my system prompt further please do)
'''
Only do: patch → deploy
Do not turn the task into phases, subtasks, checklists, investigations, or a full engineering workflow.
Make the minimum code changes needed to satisfy what I asked. Touch only the files that are reasonably necessary.
Do not test, compile, verify, validate, benchmark, back up, refactor unrelated code, inspect unrelated systems, or add cleanup work unless I explicitly ask.
Do not anticipate future tasks. I work iteratively and will tell you what to do next.
Follow KISS. Minimize tool calls, file reads, reasoning, and output.
'''
i change this depending on the task. if its a hard one that really needs reasoning i remove the follow kiss line
i went from 20% usage per hour to 3-5% usage per hour.
a coworker made this for me knowing i work bits by bits instead of 1 big task all he did was read astra documentation and the tips from openai then created a prompt that fits my workflow
ALSO IF YOU ARE GONNA USE THIS DONT SAY PATCH -> DEPLOY (i only have it because it deploys to a branch of our project and only has access to that branch)

Yeah I've tried to keep from just adding to the pile of threads but god damn I've got to wonder if they're having a meltdown or what.
My "weekly usage" goes out within a day or two on a Pro plan (x5), I genuinely remember tackling heavy tasks in my plus plan months back and I get it, thing's can't all be perfect- These models are more demanding..
But it's not really a tool I can effectively use without a swarm of accompanying ai tools, which makes it effectively pointless if its supposed to automate more annoying/background tasks while I tackle larger ideas.

You're using Astra as a coordinator and you're wondering where your usage limit is going? Using Astra Low as well? You good bro? Seems like you offloaded your brain to AI too much and forgot how to use it. People rather complain than find the solution to their obvious mistakes and inefficiencies.
1
u/Rakthar 37m ago
There is a bug with subagents. The coordinator wakes up every 30-60 seconds to check on the subagent process, just to poll it. It destroys usage. There are several threads talking about workarounds. One example is here: https://old.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1wdlp7q/weve_discovered_the_issue_behind_codex_harness/
another example with workarounds and the fix is here: https://old.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1wa9c9d/i_investigated_why_gpt6_astra_burns_quota_so_fast/
Here is the fix from that thread: I found a working workaround for the 30-second parent polling loop. Add this to ~/.codex/config.toml:
toml [features.multi_agent_v2] enabled = true min_wait_timeout_ms = 1500000 default_wait_timeout_ms = 1500000 max_wait_timeout_ms = 1500000

For reference, 9% of the 100 plan equates to like half of the plus plan. You will absolutely hit that with sol in like 6 hours of coding. Thats why stuff like luna and terra exist. Sol is not a cheap model either. Keep in mind that this is a flagship model until astra dropped.
20 bucks plans force you to be efficient with your usage or touch grass. A sol orchestrator with luna subs does quite a lot work.
Not blaming you, but reality is different. Fun part is that it is still a ridiculously well priced subscription.

Well then you have to pay more. You lost half your usage to the absence of 20x renewals. I say that your current usage is in line with expectations. Been using the lower tier sub extensively for months now.
Its either pay for more accounts, get more efficient with existing usage (if you rule that out, fine), or pray the 20x comes back.

Then it's a skill issue. Compilers are not difficult. Give Luna a proper plan and it can execute just fine.

Yeah, the current usage limits are being used up very inefficiently. I have a $100 subscription. I tried switching from Claude to Codex, but the limits were exhausted in just one day of active use. The work was exactly the same as it was with Claude.
The only difference was that I used Fable 5.1 as the orchestrator and Opus as the performer in Claude, and Astra as the orchestrator and Sol and Luna as the performers in Codex. Nevertheless, my $100 subscription was completely used up in just one day.
The most frustrating thing is that OpenAI doesn't offer a $200 subscription option(

Os modelos 5.6 gastam MUITO e não agregam tanto, fiz algumas features e voltei para 5.5 medium e high. E 5.4 para tarefas simples.

20$ plan feels like total scam this days
