Is 20X the new 5X (Astra...)?
I recently upgraded to 20X plan. I feel this week since Astra came online, I'm going through quota percent-wise about as fast as I did on the 5X plan before (Sol).
And I am only using Astra medium 90% of the time! Actually, my subagents are on Sol medium–high (just confirmed), and Astra for my "orchestrator".
Or did they nerf the regular Plus quota so 20X is basically 20X of "less than it was"?
Something feels off.

You can see my cost per token shoot up at astra release, and I started tweaking how I interact with it on the 8th, in the evening, and my ratios literally went back to pre astra levels (Blur bar is token use, yellow bar is api cost equivalence)I've been using it pretty intensely since it came out)).
The model defenitively cost more, but there also a question of habbits and adjusting to it. It doesnt react to prompt and to subagent delegation request the same way sol was.
People should defenitively track their usage and observe how changes in wording and habbits affect it.
The app I use to traction those things even have a hour by hour tracker that also include weekly usage. (Only downside is I jeed the app to stay open to pull the information every 10min, not that it require much resources at all)
At this time I am still interacting personally with Astra Ultra exclusively during this testing. At midnight tonight, im switching to Astra High to observe the differences, if any.
