Astra pauses $200 Pro subscriptions as demand hits unprecedented levels
emax · x · 2026-09-11
Astra founder Thibault Sottiaux announced the $200/month Pro plan is pausing new subscriptions due to unprecedented demand, as that tier strains systems the most. Other plans and the API remain available, existing accounts are unaffected, and capacity is being added as fast as possible. He warned new Pro signups may stay paused if demand persists.
