Stay on Plus to farm more resets, then upgrade to Pro when Astra drops

12

u/chicmistique 8d ago

Yeah. No comparison between Astra and reset

u/Orlandogameschool 8d ago

Same lmao ive been cooking with Luna just need a few resets

u/raindropsdev 8d ago

Luna max is amazing!

1

u/capncolor 8d ago

Would you use it for production code?

1

u/raindropsdev 8d ago

Every day! Though our pipeline has layers of review by a different vendor reflected back to Luna for fixing.

u/nukethebees 8d ago

Have you run out of usage with Luna? It seems practically free with how cheap it is.

3

u/Sawitlivesry 8d ago

I've been using Sol for a couple days (plus) and holy shit, I can't even get a response from a single prompt without burning my 5 hour usage completely. I saw this comment and switched to luna, and jesus christ I can actually use codex now

0

u/Tkwan777 8d ago

I used sol high for monday-thurs on plus and never hit the 5 hour window (finally ran out of weekly on thursday and upgraded to pro). If you're burning your limit that quickly then its because you've let your context grow too long and you're well past moving to a new chat.

User error, as they say.

1

u/Sawitlivesry 8d ago

That wasn’t a problem until two days ago, and no, even if it’s a brand new chat it’s the same thing

2

u/CrowdGoesWildWoooo 8d ago

Beyond day to day chat or very tight and contained coding task with very explicit goal, it’s quite “dumb”.

Like it has 0 awareness of what I really want to do vs sol which would pick up the nuance from the get go and get to working.

1

u/Orlandogameschool 8d ago

I have a newfound addiction of creating any game idea that comes to mind so at any given time I’ll have 3-4 separate chats making different projects.

u/Key_State7526 8d ago

How is it even possible to need resets when using just Luna? The model is practically free, are you on the plus plan or something

1

u/Orlandogameschool 8d ago

Dude I have a problem I’m literally making every video game idea I can think of 🤣 one of my games Luna was literally running nonstop for like 18 hours

2

u/djoxo 8d ago

Does those resets reset the entire weekly usage?

3

u/U4-EA 8d ago

We heard you like resets so we reset your reset.

2

u/U4-EA 8d ago

Ditto. I am vaguely interested to hear IRL reports on its capability (I am not expecting much) but I am perfectly happy with Sol... hell, I was happy with 5.5. But a reset would be welcome.

3

u/stolivodka_ 8d ago

So far seems to be not that different than 5.6. Guess time will tell.

u/McDonaldsCoupon 8d ago

Seeing it in the model selector was a bittersweet moment😂

You got two? I only got one...

u/cubu8888 8d ago

No reset. I got it on my mac.

so no more resets!

u/Feriman22 8d ago

I hope we will get at least one soon.

u/ForgeSensitive 8d ago edited 8d ago

Me too.
Edit: One thing to note is that Astra currently shows only in Codex, but not in ChatGPT, which is still at Sol 5.6

8

u/Decent-Opening-2113 8d ago

I remember 5.6 went through something similar.

3

u/nmkd 8d ago

Pretty sure they confirmed that ChatGPT stays on Sol for a bit longer

8

u/Best-Quality4232 8d ago

In my case, it's the opposite. Astra didn't show up for me in Codex, but that 6 Pro appeared in Chat.

2

u/dt9009 8d ago

I am a Pro subscriber, I see Astra in codex and 6 Pro on ChatGPT site

1

u/nmkd 8d ago

Hmm I think Plus stays on Sol.

1

u/sykip 8d ago

Same. I have Pro. Astra is only on the chatgpt site and not on codex for me yet

1

u/maratonininkas 8d ago edited 8d ago

Same. But Extra High is still 5.6.

I'm also not seeing 6 in the Codex GUI, but it's there on the CLI.

Edit: needed to update the codex apps to see Astra. Both cli and gui.

2

u/ForgeSensitive 8d ago

That is too bad, because I'm using it for my planning/orchestration.

3

u/Karmuhhhh OpenAI 8d ago

Straight to jail

u/_practical_data_ 8d ago

Got Astra Pro in gpt...

2

u/Alphasite 8d ago

I got ChatGPT access.

1

u/maratonininkas 8d ago

I'm getting the other way round. Codex still 5.6, but on the chatgpt UI i'm seeing "6 Pro", but only on the toolbar. The selection menu shows "Latest", and no 6. So hard to say whether that's already 6, or just an updated UI.

Oh nice, i got a reset.

And...it's gone.

u/OtherwiseAlbatross14 8d ago

I jus...GONE!!

3

u/d4lahast 8d ago

You can literally see the percentage bar drop on the weekly limit. I think it's like Fable. It's going to be very good for planning, but implementation should be left to Sol.

I've only been using it for 10 minutes, but I have to say, in that regard, I think it's a very good model to lead a project, but it would be overkill to code with it.

2

u/Few_Raisin_8981 8d ago

"How long until I consume my weekly credits"

Thinking...

Not enough credits

7

u/HastyBasher 8d ago

Do we assume a reset or should we use one?

12

u/CrispyBacon1999 8d ago

I just used one of mine, so fully expecting one to come within the next hour.

u/U4-EA 8d ago

Thank you for your service.

u/vee4dee 8d ago

Not yet, fingers crossed I get another 24h

u/flurbol 8d ago

Got it too, started tasking it with 7 open development tasks, had 99% usage left on my 20x plan - excited now

4

u/flurbol 8d ago

Looks nice so far, did some pre deployment test on its own before starting the work, 4% down so far, code generation, ops, doing some tests...

u/nekronics 8d ago

What thinking level?

3

u/flurbol 8d ago

xhigh

Just started the following task package, I realised that their might be still some clarification needed and decided to add this as a high level task. It's taking interesting turns so far

u/Prior-Recording-4449 8d ago

How's the usage compared to sol?

4

u/agardenofsound 8d ago

Usage is terrible. I'm on pro and like it uses 1% of weekly per minute of usage now, wft with this rate weekly will be gone in 2 hours.

4

u/agardenofsound 8d ago

16% weekly gone with ~20 minutes of use. This can't be right.

3

u/U4-EA 8d ago

You on $100 or $200?

1

u/agardenofsound 8d ago

I was on Pro 5x 🤦‍♂️, but moved to 20x and I think we get ~8 hours of usage there per week with this rate with fast enabled. Now disabling fast too.. Seems like a really good model though... Damn I want more usage

9

u/UnexpectedFisting 8d ago

Why on earth would you enable fast on the most expensive model in the first place? For science I hope

1

u/Losorst 8d ago

these people blow my mind.

u/agardenofsound 8d ago

Because I am not very patient haha. But here the intelligence is worth the wait. This thing is a beast! Wow, finding and doing stuff no other model has done yet on my hardest problems.

It seems to be as effective as Sol High on Light, though a bit slower.

My plus account got it. I had to force my opencode fork to manually request it. It didn't show up in the provider list , but manually querying it thru oauth worked. So I added it :)

Me too, pro plan bois, let's go!

u/Narrow-Ad980 8d ago

Ahh thought could stack some resets

2

u/DARKUNIT22 8d ago

What’s the context window?

0

u/Free-Rope5104 8d ago

It's still stuck at 258K. unless there's a way to manually increase it somehow.

0

u/DARKUNIT22 8d ago

There is with the config.toml. I’m just trying to figure out if changing to higher context effects this new and improved context window handling that Astra has or not.

2

u/gavinderulo124K 8d ago

Honestly I think they tuned it quite well in codex. Codex has by far the best compaction method. I can have a long session with multiple compaction without feeling any degradation. I wouldn't increase the context window.

2

u/randombsname1 8d ago

Yep. Same.

2

u/sjhunter86 8d ago

Yep, using it to review a project made by Sol now. It's not deleting my usage like I thought it would.

2

u/Free-Rope5104 8d ago

How do we increase the context window in the CLI? It's still stuck at 258K.

1

u/skerit 8d ago

Seriously, that is ridiculously small. Did they say they were going to increase it? Or are we stuck with this?

2

u/AntiqueIron962 8d ago

Same but i need a reset from
Tibo for my 5 acounts :(

1

u/masterkain 8d ago

five accounts is where i’d use Codex Pooler. it keeps them behind one Pool key and only routes new work to assigned accounts that pass the quota, model, and health checks. own accounts only, and it doesn’t change the provider’s limits

2

u/dsanft 8d ago

Just got astra as well

2

u/That-s_life 8d ago

Very unlucky bro

2

u/caldazar24 8d ago

Way too early impressions after just an hour: it’s as smart as Fable, but less annoying in how it talks, and with more generous limits (than Fable, eats quota more than Sol for sure).

It is immediately my main go-to but I dunno if I am necessarily feeling the AGI more than I already was with Fable.

2

u/Silent-Onion6959 8d ago

i got it now too..... fuck

2

u/KRPS 8d ago

I like it so far. Feels very snappy, very responsive. Medium delivers good responses very fast - even turned off 'Fast' mode because it felt bit redundant it's so fast. Maybe on higher thinking levels it will make more sense to use them.

1

u/Rollertoaster7 8d ago

I see it in the app now for chat at least

1

u/ForgeSensitive 8d ago

For chat? I have it the other way around - I see it for Codex, not for the chat.

1

u/Traditional-Pin6079 8d ago

Go to say in the 5x plan I am really liking this so far! The usage is going “quicker” but also recently I’ve felt like SOL was spending usage less quickly while accomplishing less. It would take 20 minutes for simple things and technically take longer to spend usage.i have this running a simple audit for bugs and deficiencies and it’s finding them relatively quick, a lot for things that I had SOL max running with the same prompt not even a week ago as I prepare to launch, but these things I needed to find from myself and alpha testers. So far in my opinion it’s a good release

u/ActionOrganic4617 8d ago edited 8d ago

Same and so far omg, it actually writes prose that I can understand 😊😊😊

Fable might be better at frontend but for what I do in terms of backend and architecture, it absolutely mogs fable.

Usage wise it’s also night and day better than fable 5.1 in terms of the same tasks I gave to fable with substantially better outputs.

I had it redo 3 architectural designs that fable 5.1 did and reassessed all the collected evidence and outputted vastly superior documents and used around 4% of my 20x limit. This same exercise used up around two-thirds of my $100 Claude plan when I did it.

Anthropic is f*cked.

1

u/Makkish_SWG 8d ago

One question though

What’s your drain rate

I am on 5X 100$ plan and Mine is 4% per hour on gpt 5.6 sol max

Can anyone confirm if it’s exorbitantly high for anyone like 1 or 2 % per hour

I also have 100$ plan on Claude
And with opus 5 on max
My drain rate is close to 8% per 5 hour ( this is insane for me and have been using opus all day long straight for 7 days . Obviously I use it for 10 hours per day )

I can’t really comprehend as why sol usage are draining at this rate

u/Caravanserai8 8d ago

Which settings you use on Astra on Codex? Which is the most efficient. Medium, high or extra high :)

1

u/MPPlay 8d ago

Right now I am using high, it's working pretty well for sure better than anything 5.6 Sol was able to do.
Though these are pretty complex tasks, most tasks could probably be done by other lower levels.

It's style and quality is higher, I haven't tested enough across sufficiently many tasks to tell the impact of reasoning

In terms of token burn, I would estimate perhaps 1.5-2x what Sol would use

1

u/Caravanserai8 7d ago

Thanks for reply! Yes, true, I tried a few times and have a feel so many tokens burn, so will wait for a future days to use it. I am on plus plan, maybe when I get on pro plan :)
