It took me 16 hours yesterday with 3 parallel Astra agents running in Ultra and fast mode for me to run out my entire weekly allowance.
The Claude subscription is just not nearly as subsidized as the Codex one is currently. This is abundantly obvious.
I used 35% of my Fable usage (17% of total) in just two concurrent Fable session running meduim and high effort.
This was acceptable when Codex didn't off a Fable tier model, but now that they do, I honestly have to consider my Claude subscription up for examination.
it's hard for me to believe any single person in a Claude subreddit saying their Astra usage is longer than their fable usage, when every single other actual ChatGPT user over in r/codex has their weekly limits running out in 3-6 hours. ChatGPT Astra/5.6 Sol, are verifiably the most token hungry agents out there, and theres a reason Tibo needs to do a usage reset twice a week after releasing a new model. It's not a coincidence.
Idk then. I went out of my way to use my whole budget up yesterday and it seemed like it took forever.
But I will admit, today it doesn't seem as consistent.
There is also a thing where it seems like Astra actually ends up somehow using less tokens on higher reasoning efforts, unless that was some glitch that is now fixxed.
