User burns through Astra tokens in 3 minutes just reading project docs
ataraxic89 · reddit · 2026-09-07
A returning Astra subscriber complains that simply asking the model to read his game project's documentation — no tasks, just reading — exhausted his token allowance in 3 minutes. He had planned to use a smarter model to onboard the codebase before delegating work via sol and terra modes, but now says he'll likely cancel the subscription. The post highlights the gap between agentic products' token appetite and subscription limits.
