GPT 6 Astra locked behind Codex tokens, ChatGPT Plus users frustrated by quota fragmentation
DrDroDi · reddit · 2026-09-22
A ChatGPT Plus user reports that the new Astra model is only accessible via GPT Work and bills against Codex tokens, rather than appearing as a regular model option in ChatGPT on the web like previous releases.
The poster asks whether Astra will eventually ship as a standard Plus model, and complains that OpenAI has been splitting every new feature into a separate limit, calling the trend increasingly greedy. The thread reflects broader user frustration with quota fragmentation.
