Codex tip: Astra reads your remaining usage %, so you can budget in plain English
keyanzhang · x · 2026-09-08
keyanzhang shares a neat Codex trick: Astra can see your remaining usage percentage while running a /goal and factor it into its decisions. That means you can set a budget in plain English — e.g. "keep going until I'm down to 25%, or until you've solved it" — letting the agent self-manage quota vs. task completion on long runs.
