OpenAI, what happened to Astra?
I used GPT‑6 Astra on Xhigh for 30 minutes, and it consumed almost 20% of my plan’s usage limit
(200$ plan)
That’s a big change from my experience before.
I used to choose High or Xhigh because, in my workflow, it often less than Medium,but now is the opposite...
Has anyone else noticed Astra using more of their limit lately?
i was one of the only people who said openai and anthropic would introduce higher tier subscription plans.
called it less than 3 months ago.
now openai's $500 pro max plan is here and will most likely get introduced at devday.
never doubted the voices for a second.
now waiting for dario to finish the prophecy.
If OpenAI launches some insanely expensive tier, makes the cheaper tiers worse with bad limits, merges Chat into ChatGPT Work / Codex, and the overall experience gets worse because of it, then the solution is pretty simple:
I’ll cancel ChatGPT and move to other AI tools that actually work for me and don’t make me feel like a second-class user.
(As much as I love ChatGPT, I’m not an idiot.)
Yeah but I can use Opus 5.5 for days and not run out of usage and I can’t with Astra. GPT6 Sol is no where near as good as Opus 5.5 and that sucks man. Like a lot. I wanna use a GPT model as good and as fast as Opus 5.5 and there is not one. Like I hate this. I am a GPT guy not a Claude guy but Opus 5.5 is just too good right now. Like a lot. I wanna use Astra but like usage goes BYE BYE and it’s just like not fun…
Opus 5.5 is so far ahead of GPT 6 Astra for me that, unless OpenAI shows something soon, they're honestly cooked
I'm definitely canceling my ChatGPT subscription. I just can't find a downside to using Opus right now
