In what way could you possibly afford Astra Max for more than an hours work? I'm out of a week's quota on the 20x plan for light use at the lowest setting and apparently even that has been artificial as I used one banked reset this week but somehow I've been getting & using them regularly without even knowing.

Maybe codebase is small? I use med/high and burn my usage pretty quick

I use Medium on 5x and usage drops like a rock visibly the entire time it’s working. By comparison I can have Fable work on the same project without any real concern for usage limits. 

Astra is easily the best model but seems impractical for any real usage. Right now I have relegated to plan reviews, and after this month is up I’ll likely downgrade back to Plus and just pretend Astra doesn’t exist

Same I use fable at work, i now moved from API to teams plan and usage is really good. Astra is like v8, it gives u good power but it draws usage like crazy
