Astra Reaches Plus Users: Full 100% Usage Limits Can Go to It, Aiming at Anthropic

Reddit users spotted that GPT-6 Astra is now available to ChatGPT Plus subscribers, with a notable detail: users can dedicate 100% of their usage limits to Astra, rather than being capped by a separate quota.
- The poster reads it as OpenAI "going for the throat of Anthropic," directly competing for paying users in coding and agent workloads
- For Plus/Pro subscribers, it means the entire allowance can be pointed at the new model for heavy testing
Quota allocation has become a competitive weapon in this model war.
