Confusing Astra availability: absent from Plus Chat, Pro needs max thinking effort

User btibor91 mapped out how Astra lands across ChatGPT tiers, and the picture is confusing: ChatGPT Plus doesn't include Astra in Chat, but does include GPT-6 Astra in Work and Codex. On ChatGPT Pro, Astra appears in Chat as '6 Pro' only when you select 'Latest' and set thinking effort to maximum; Pro also includes GPT-6 Astra in Work and Codex. The poster says he can't explain why it works this way.
