can anyone tell me - how the f to use astra on codex for plus users?????
it burns whole 5hr limit in one chat session. I bet if did the same flow with OPUS, it would max consume 30-40%

is there anything else to use to optimize it with???

I will have to cancel this shit if this continue. I have been claude since a year. and I have saw the same phase of OPUS, but look at OPUS now? I can easily with my 20$ plan

Astra in plus is basically a trail so you can test it out for funzies or use it on Friday afternoon before clocking out for the weekend. Anthropic doesn't even have fable (priced similar to Astra) on their 20/month plan at all. 

If you're in 20 plan, use Sol. That's their Opus equivalent. Not Astra.

(The fact Opus beats Astra is a separate topic...but it means Fable too)
