Cognition's Thibault Sottiaux says demand for Astra is "unprecedented" — the team is pulling every lever to keep up, and even after previous steep growth he's never seen anything like it.
Priority stays with service quality for existing users, but if the surge continues, new Pro subscriptions may be paused for a while. Romain Huet: "We're gonna need a bigger boat."
