ChatGPT Plus users complain Astra burns usage too fast for its actual improvement

A user with both Pro 5x and Plus accounts complains that the new Astra model consumes Plus usage extremely fast, echoing widespread community complaints. He argues the practical gains over the cheaper, more reliable GPT-5.6 Sol don't justify the burn rate, joking it feels like paying an Anthropic subscription. His verdict: Astra isn't bad, but the usage-to-improvement ratio is unhealthy — Sol remains the model he can actually let run.
