Pro 20x tier burns 60% of weekly quota in under a day with GPT-6 Astra
rschu · x · 2026-09-11
After upgrading from Plus to the 20x-priced Pro 20x ChatGPT plan, the author found himself with only 40% of the weekly limit left in less than a day — thanks to heavy use of GPT-6 Astra for complex work. Impressively capable, but a serious token burner.
He notes the trajectory: like o3's 80% API price drop within weeks, inference gets optimized and open models catch up fast — capabilities that are very expensive today may arrive in open weights within months at a fraction of the cost.
