A Reddit user says switching from SOL 5.6 to the newly launched Astra model as a plus member was a letdown: lured by the hyped launch videos, they found Astra runs 3-5 minutes, makes a few edits, and eats over 20% of the weekly quota and 100% of the 5-hour limit. The poster argues newer models should deliver better output with fewer tokens, not faster quota burn.
