Reddit user on $200 Pro plan: Astra burns weekly usage about 2x faster than Sol

A Reddit user warns others about how quickly Astra consumes weekly usage credits.
- On the $200 Pro plan, they went from 99% to 69% remaining in several hours of running Astra on high across multiple projects
- The same workload on Sol High/X-High would have used roughly 15% — meaning Astra burns quota about twice as fast
- The author is impressed by the model's quality for their use cases but calls it "a hungry hungry thing" and advises caution if you need credits for other work
