Astra has paused new signups for its $200 Pro plan, citing the heavy system load from that tier. The team says this is the smallest step to preserve experience for current users while broadening access.
- Existing accounts are unaffected; other plans and the API remain available
- More capacity is being added as fast as possible
- One user called subscribing to the 20x plan one of their most compulsive decisions of 2026 after seeing Astra's capabilities, signaling strong demand
