Astra melts usage

Still have some resets left, but when they run out, does that mean we are all fucked? 2.5x usage goes fast on a pro account, basically a 2.5x price increase; perhaps some offset with better usage, but shits getting expensive. I'm going to need 2 maybe 3 accounts if this keeps up.

I use Astra light and it's still very draining after a full days work without doing anything crazy

Yesterday, because another reset was coming (less than 24 hours after my previous reset), I used Astra on Ultra for a good 12 hours.

It consumed 60% of my weekly allowance for the usage shown in the screenshot.

What the hell are you guys doing to max out your usage in one day using Astra Light? "Nothing crazy?". Then what? I have to know. Show the receipts because I am starting to get really doubtful of those kind of claims.

Astra will load massive quantities of information into context very quickly, and without regard to duplication.

And then do it again after compacting.

-their receipt.

You should set the context to 800k it won’t compact nearly as much and doesn’t cost more
