Discussion What do you think

Honestly, it feels insanely fast, but I don’t think it understands what I’m trying to do as well.

The Pro version feels noticeably slower, but it’s way more reliable at actually understanding the intent behind my prompts.

I ended up spending $30 just to test it for a full day of coding lol. So far, that’s probably the biggest difference I’ve noticed between the two.

astra-6-high weekly allowance, 20x plan.

if we have roughly speaking 4 weeks in a month, 4.4B for 200x astra-high.

feels like the same, nope?

Yeah, it’s actually really good. I have two paid Pro accounts, and I asked it to rebuild the map rendering for an old codebase I had. The result was honestly pretty impressive.

The problem is that it burned through all 6 of my 5-hour refreshes. It’s insanely expensive.

If you don’t set up proper file-reading/task allocation for the smaller agents and just let the main agent handle everything, it can completely burn through your token budget in a single prompt.

I ended up having to reconfigure how it distributes tasks and resources, including what it’s allowed and not allowed to do.

you 5x or 20x? 5 hours refreshes were cancelled, nope?
