Codex tip: Astra now reads your remaining usage % so you can budget in plain English
Dimillian · x · 2026-09-08
Codex ships a practical update: the Astra agent can now see your remaining usage percentage and factor it into a /goal run. You can set a budget in plain English — e.g. "keep going until you've solved it, or until I'm down to 25%" — which is especially useful for long-running agent tasks that would otherwise burn through your allowance mid-run.
