How I’m Using ASTRA on Plus Without Burning Through My Limit

If you’re on Plus, I really wouldn’t use ASTRA for the whole coding task. It can burn through the 5 hour limit insanely fast, sometimes in just 1 prompt and 10 minutes. What I’ve been doing instead: Use ASTRA first for planning and figuring out the architecture. Then let Sol break the task into smaller parallel chunks. Use Gemini 3.8 as the workers to actually implement those chunks. (Way better and faster than luna max agents) Once everything is done, have Sol review the implementation and catch issues. Then if you some more 5hour limit left, use ASTRA one more time for the final review. Basically I’m treating ASTRA like the senior engineer, not the person writing every line of code.
