Grok's Astra on the $20 plan: one 5-minute task burns 70% of session limit
Expert-Dig-1768 · reddit · 2026-09-06
A Reddit user reports that on the $20/month Plus plan, a single 5-minute task handed to Astra (running Grok 4.6) consumed 70% of the session limit — despite pre-writing a detailed prompt and full documentation so the agent could jump straight into implementation.
The author finds the model itself strong but effectively unusable at this burn rate, and asks how other subscribers actually manage to use it within quota.
