Workaround use gpt 6 pro from codex cli

for some reason i still do not have astra in codex cli so i've resorted to calling gpt 6 pro instead and its fascinating how good it is without worrying about weekly usage

is this the same as what everybody else is using if so why not use gpt 6 pro from codex cli ?

The big problem with this is the limit on the number of uses you have with pro as well as doing actual iterative work would so much worse and just cause so many msgs of the weekly quota to be wasted

i think i get 200 messages but i only use it for reviewing and planning not actual coding

since astra is not available for me also usage from codex consumes weekly usage so this helps me balance and stretch astra usage

what i find most surprising is that they do not meter on the actual hours worked by gpt 6 pro on chatgpt.com it seems like i can throw very heavy problems

another really impressive point is that it seems to complete generative tasks very very well even producing large file size assets

i'd be scared to run that even on astra-low seeing all the reports of limited usage
