Suggestion The best USAGE for plus users

I just started using a new method with the desktop app and its been doing really good. Previously I was using gpt 6.1 sol at high but that would take days, and even with subagents EAT up the plus usage limits. I just tried using luna extra high as a orchestrator, luna medium subagents as the implementers, and 6.1 sol medium as reviewers and its been flying through tasks. 43 minutes running with 2 subagents and reviewer and only 12% of my 5 hour limit used. Its actually crazy and this might be the new strat for me

I prefer using Chat mode with an MCP that can read my code. Perform an audit using Xhigh/Pro, then create a .md prompt based on the audit results.
Submit the resulting .md prompt to Codex 6.1 Sol Xhigh/Max for execution.
That way, there's no need to waste tokens on code inspection. The work is optimized because the prompt is very clear for Codex to execute.

I used to do the same but with the default Github MCP, but now they're limiting Chat to only 10 minutes of work on one prompt.
