This has helped a lot! I can see a huge reduction in how fast my usage limit drops - thank you!

I ran two Astra sessions on ultra + fast for two hours, but they were so slow I didn’t even use a few percent of my limit. At this speed, my usage cap is pretty safe 😂

This is not true at all. I’ve been running Astra and sol consistently almost all day. I’m on 200 plan and don’t remember the last time I ran outta usage or hit the 5hr limit. Esp with to the rate that they give you resets too!

I gotta hand it to you… dropping much less fast than usual. 3 terminals working 2 Astra xhigh and 1 sol xhigh.. 1% in 30 minutes… are we back? =]

I'm also unsure if people realize using Astra in your Dot is basically free. I'm a heavy user of chatgpt for knowledge work. My usage has barely moved since Dots came out. I don't even know what to do with the resets, which I was running out of constantly.

And my usage barely moves. 3D until reset, I am at 94% usage left, having worked every day for many hours per day
