Codex tip: don't let Astra manage other threads — usage dropped from ~70%/day to 25%
jdjohnson · x · 2026-09-10
Developer jdjohnson shares a Codex usage-saving lesson: letting Astra manage many other threads/tasks burned roughly 70% of his daily quota, while running on High/Extra High without Astra orchestrating other tasks used only 25% over several days. He asks OpenAI's @pvncher and @thsottiaux whether this is a bug being fixed or if Astra simply isn't meant to be used across other tasks/threads.
