GPT-6 Astra skips regular Chat on Plus: only Work and Codex, Pro tiers get full access

- OpenAI is rolling out GPT-6 Astra to ChatGPT Plus, but Plus subscribers cannot chat with Astra in regular Chat — it is limited to ChatGPT Work and Codex.
- Regular Chat on Plus gets GPT-5.6 Sol; GPT-6 Pro (Astra-powered) in normal chat is reserved for Pro $100, Pro $200, Business, and Enterprise tiers.
- The author notes this makes the Plus vs Pro gap far bigger than usage limits, and OpenAI's own help docs aren't clear enough — many Plus users will assume "Astra is coming to Plus" means full chat access.
