A user ran the numbers on GPT-6 Astra's quotas: despite claims of token efficiency, higher pricing eats the gains.
- $20 base plan: roughly 1.5 uses per 5-hour window—"one PR review and you're done"
- 5x plan: 7.5 uses
- 20x plan: 30 uses, finally reasonable
The takeaway: token savings are offset by the price hike, making low-tier subscriptions feel very tight.
