How does anyone use Astra?
A user on a 5x $100/month plan for Astra expressed frustration, stating their weekly limit was consumed by a single thread of Astra on high with 2.5 hours of usage. They compared this unfavorably to Claude, suggesting Astra offers only 3-5% of Claude's usage for the same cost, as Claude's 'fable 5' can be used for hours across multiple days and threads. The user also noted no exceptional difference between "5.6 sol" and Astra, despite the low usage limits.

Tier is a per-source editorial setting, not a per-item score.
I’m on the 5x $100/month plan. My weekly limit was burned on one single thread Astra on high with 2.5 hours of usage.
Literally how are people using this? After I realized how quickly it burns through your limit I switched to medium, and in I think like 3.5 hours the weekly limit was also gone, one thread for routine accounting work.
If you proportionalize it to fable 5, for the same amount of money at Claude I’d say you get 3-5% of usage of Claude. As you can use fable for hours on end multiple days and multiple threads simultaneously without going through your limit. The limit resets with gpt feel like a super cheap gimmick when they’re meaningless as your limits run out in 2 hours of work.
I’m extremely disappointed tbh and all the hype is nonsense if you literally can’t use it.
Am I doing something wrong or this is just the age of people exaggerating everything. For what it’s worth on top of that I didn’t find any exceptional difference between 5.6 sol and astra on top of the horrendously low usage.
