How do you guys use astra?
A user on Reddit switched from Claude to ChatGPT and observed a high cost when using Astra, with a single prompt consuming their entire weekly usage. They questioned if their workflow was incorrect and considered using Astra for planning before handing it over to Sol, or letting Astra build. The user noted that based on hype, Astra was expected to deliver better results, especially for "blender stuff or modeling."

Just switched from Claude to ChatGPT, and I noticed a very high cost of using Astra, like a single prompt can eat up the entire weekly usage. Is my workflow wrong?
I usually use 3 sessions:
-Session 1: Refining my prompt so that the implementation session is going in the direction of what I'm expecting.
-Session 2: Just doing as the prompt suggested.
-Session 3: Practically asking what it reported back for the next decisions.
Should I have used Astra for the planning instead and maybe hand it over to Sol? Or let Astra build?From what I've seen on the hype, I felt like Astra might deliver a better result specifically on the blender stuff or modeling, CMIIW.
