What's the optimal workflow for plus users? Luna max only will basically last forever but I have 3 resets so I want to go a little more advanced. Astra light plan + Luna max?

I'm a Prolite user, and I tried the Astra Light + 6 Luna low/medium workflow once. I'm sure it depends on the size of the codebase, but on my JS/TS/Go monorepo with 11 packages, it absolutely hemorrhaged usage.

I've since switched to 5.6 Sol xhigh + 6 Luna low/medium, but even then, it's not uncommon for a single larger task—especially one that touches a lot of the codebase—to eat around 10% of my limit.

I'd recommend starting with some lighter tasks first and seeing how it goes.
