Im not telling you i runed 6 convo with max settings for 24hours, but i was forced to do it, to use 100% of my token. I alternate btwin 6.1sol and 6astra, On high mode and Pro200 : 6.1sol = 2.5%/hours 6astra = around 8%/hours

Problem
I had to spawn 6 conversation with Astra Ultra + fast speed + 4 sub agent/conversation, to be able to spend all my token on the same plan as you. How the hell are you spending this much token on normal usage?

Problem
Astra is great but it really consume token fast. Can we figure that out first?
