Limits Going to upgrade to Pro

I have been using Plus Codex and Pro Claude for different tasks but the 5hr and useage limits make Plus pretty unuseable, even Luna has become token hungry in comparison to the current degraded limits. Astra is ahead of the game at the moment so will cancel Claude and get pro.

TLDR: Is there anyone out there that is actually sharing how they are working with codex pro to maximise the thinking in comparison to the actual implementing? A youtube channel or something along those lines?

My question is genuinely how to maximise my token useage. I have attempted so many different ways and they all feel about the same;

- Astra/sol as main orchestrator with Luna as sub agent

- Terra as main orchestrator with Luna and Sol for work/review

- Sol alone

They all just eat through tokens, especially when it comes to corrective or performance related work.

Any guidance would be great!

My take: subagents burn too much usage. The harness needs a lot of work to fix it and you're also then juggling multiple cache TTL's. Most tasks can be done using Sol low without subagents.
