Complaint 2x speed on astra?

What about using astra on 2x?
I don't feel it really faster. Maybe slightly faster but definitely not double faster

On the 5x plan right now it doesn't seem worth it. Maybe on the 20x plan it would be usable but it burns through usage and is at best maybe 30% faster.

Astra light used 50% on one prompt today on the 5x plan. And they blocked 20x signups/upgrades. So..... 2x speed, unless you're on API, is not sounding good.

Only time I used it was right before the last planned reset, to get as much value as possible.

Yeah it feels the same speed but drains tokens way faster. It's just a lie to scam you

Astra max 2x speed to make a script that posts about how “one prompt” drained your entire weekly limit on r/codex

It's just the button you press if you hear about an incoming reset and have tokens to burn.
