ASTRAnomical usage...
A user reported an "ASTRAnomical usage" issue with GPT Plus. They typically start their 5-hour window with a simple math problem to reset it earlier. However, they unknowingly had it set to "Astra High" and when asking "What is 1+1", the answer took about 5 seconds but consumed 16% of their 5-hour window, which they found to be insane.

I like to kick off my 5hr window (GPT Plus) as soon as i get to the pc so that it can reset earlier in the day, so i always just ask a simple math problem in work and it starts the 5hr clock.
Today I didn't realize i had it on Astra High. I asked it "What is 1+1" It answered in about 5 seconds and used 16% of my 5hr window!
That's insane.
