craigbalding · x · 2026-09-18
A user details how fast OpenAI's quotas evaporate: a 20x sub's allowance was spent on astra xhigh, and a brand-new 5x sub's weekly quota ran out in two days on Codex. Their cost-saving setup—terra medium coordinator, 2x luna xhigh coders, sol high reviewer—still had sol consuming 60% of quota. They're considering a second 5x sub and asking OpenAI to let subscriptions stack.
